Sharing My World 25-11-2024
Here is my post for Share Your World, hosted by Di.
Do you like snow?
I do, in theory. I like walking out in it. I hate it if I’m out somewhere, it starts to snow and I have to drive home. That’s frightening.
However we never had much snow here and even less in recent years.
Did you build a snowman as a child and dress it with coal eyes, a carrot nose etc?
I think we built rather half-hearted snowmen but never got as far as dressing them up. They were pretty poor anyway, given the amount of snow we had to work with.
Did you have snowball fights?
Yep π
Did you have a sleigh?
I had neither sleigh nor sled, due to the afore-mentioned lack of snow. Snow which actually settles for more than 10 minutes once every 5 years doesn’t make it worthwhile.
I remember once we borrowed food trays from Mum and slid down a steep road on them. That’s as far as we got, sled-wise.

Food trays seem pretty decent to me. The plastic trays kids use today were obviously designed by sb with a similar experience.

I love how every answer mentioned the lack of snow except the one about snowball fights. Who cares if it didn’t snow this year… we’re still pelt each other with stuff!!!

Chucking snowballs at someone – good clean fun. Chucking bricks at someone – criminal offence!

I like snow. But I don’t like shoveling snow. π

We had sleds but nowhere to use them — even when we had snow which we haven’t had hardly any of in the past four or five years. It’s cold now and it is snowing all over the place — except here. So maybe we’ll have some this year. The sleds? Given away years ago.

As we get older, the thought of getting catapulted off a sled sounds less and less like “fun” and more and more like “hospitalisation”.

I think of my kidneys — then my pacemaker — then all that arthritis and I think of a nice warm house and a comfortable recliner and remember those olden snow days as fond memories when I had a heartbeat not dependent on an electronic pacemaker. Yup. These WERE the days and these are not them
