Cork on Ice

Cork's indoor Christmas ice skating rink closed and relocated outside in the new year. My flight from London => Cork was diverted to Shannon (160km away). I then had to spend 3 1/2 hours on a bus (with extremely cold air conditioning) to get to Cork airport.

As you can see, my car was covered in about 15 centimetres of snow, and had to be dug out of it's parking lot.

I have yet to sit outside on that bench in the sun.

No surprise that I called in sick to work the next day.

Scrap the floatie campaign and bring on the ice skates (and more importantly, the ice skating lessons). Come on people, dig deep!
