Ice Cold In...

Some days just don't go according to plan. Having still not fully recovered from yesterdays match (I woke at least 5 times during the night thinking it was just a dream, sad but true), today we were meeting my parents for lunch. The problems with being ill over Christmas and a hectic schedule meant that we hadn't seen each other for ages. Seemed easiest to meet half way. We picked a restaurant half way that "A" usually likes. The idea was lunch then a walk along the river. Which would have been fine. But you might have noticed it's been a bit cold recently. So the walk was off the list. Then we got to the restaurant to find their heating system had broken down. We decided to brave it. Big mistake. We all ended up eating lunch still wearing our coats. Hot drinks at the end were needed just to warm up. The whole thing missed the kind of atmosphere I was hoping for.
