Today, like Rosamundi, I’ve found myself wondering at the insanity that rears its crazy head as soon as there’s a few inches of snow on the ground.

From my window this morning I have observed the following:

1) The park across the road filled with boys and girls and mostly students demostrating their “mine is bigger than yours” attitude to snowmen.

2) A student siding down our street repeatedly on his snowboard.

3) His mate attempting, unsucessfully, to copy him on a skateboard with the wheels removed.

4) A large inflatable crocodile being carried past – presumably destined to be used as a sledge.

5) A ‘bloke’ wearing NOTHING on his top half.

What can I say. The city has gone mad.
