More on winter.
But first, may I suggest a little exercise with your gloves for those who would like to be in my shoes:
1. Wear a pair of gloves.
2. Not the surgical variety. Thick woollen gloves and remember to keep them on throughout this test.
3. Take your favourite book. Open any page that offers to present itself. Read through it.
4. And now, try turning the page.
5. Jumping pages is not allowed. If you are on page 22, you may only proceed to page 23. Remember to flip it gently, with only your index finger and your thumb aiding you in this whole ordeal.
6. When this starts to get on your nerves, try the second test.
7. Take some money.
8. Not the circular variety. But crisp notes which are even more precious when they are more expensive to buy with your native currency.
9. Stack a bunch of them, one on top of the other.
10. Keeping the same finger-thumb coordination in mind as stated above. Remember, both the thumb and the finger should still be safely handicapped beneath their woollen alter egos.
11. Now count the money.
Season’s greetings!

ha ha, yup, i have done this one before. i'll add a few more. try lighting a cheap cigarette with a slightly damp matchbox without taking gloves off. two, unzip a sleeping bag, get in, zip it back up again. three, this one's for guys, take a leak with your gloves on, just for that "whoa, whose fingers are that?" feeling.
hey
i'm in the US right now and spent my first 4 days in below zero weather in new york. almost died of the cold, and the glove thing is really pissing off! can't do anything with them on and then taking them off kills you too.
but i did go ice skating and it was such fun.
now in miami, in shorts :)
