Sometimes life is like standing on a stepping stone in the middle of a roaring river.

The good thing about stepping stones is there's never just one.
If you keep moving from one to the next, eventually you'll reach the other side.

Ouch

I was thinking about posting on the topic of how incredibly glad I am that the snow has finally gone from Glasgow. Then I slipped on the ice that the melted snow has formed. Twice.  I fell forward both times so at least I don't have to worry about spinal injuries, but I do seem to have hurt my wrist.  It's quite enlightening actually - I didn't realise I used my left hand so much. 

 For tea tonight I'm having a go at home-cooked haggis. It doesn't seem too difficult (although it would be a hundred times easier if the microwave were working), you just stick it in a casserole dish and let it cook. I'd like to try steaming it but that'll have to wait til I get home as neither me nor Rachel own a steamer.

  I miss salsa.

Owwww

I slipped on the ice again today, and this one hurt. I'm seriously wondering if it's possible to get whiplash from falling over. Luckily there was a nice man passing who helped me back onto my feet and made sure I stayed upright before he left. I wish I'd thanked him but I was so close to bursting into tears that I didn't dare say anything. Hopefully it won't put him off helping damsels in distress in the future! Ah my back hurts :(

I've managed to make 11 Christmas cards so far, which is really pretty good for just one day. I'm not going to think about the fact that that's not even a quarter of the number I need.
