My hands are cold.

I've been home for a while but my hands still have that recently thawed out stingy feeling. Well, we went out to Mala Strana. The snow stayed around but the sun took off within 5 minutes of us leaving the house, but it was ok, all was pretty, there was snow, there were ducks and swans and babies bums.

I took lots of pictures, which is why my hands got so cold, despite having gloves on, they're pretty flimsy and if I don't keep my hands in my pockets most of the time they freeze. It's worth it to get a bunch of new scenic Prague in winter photos, so I don't mind. Makes me feel brave and hardy.

No beer though, it's a bit of a skint weekend, and though it was a pleasant day, it was kept from deserving the title of perfect due to us not being able to pop into a pub to thaw out and chill. Yes, I'm aware the latter part of that sentence is contradictory, and no, it doesn't matter that today wasn't perfect because it just gives us room for improvement on a future expedition, just in case you were interested in knowing, and yes, I do mean you, singular.

The babies bums is a sculpture, in case you were thinking it was an odd sort of thing to see by the river on a freezing cold day.

Cough, sniffle.

I'm not feeling so tired anymore. I got some sleep. I woke up Sunday morning, after a relatively early night feeling refreshed, well rested and that something was tickling the back of my throat. I was, as they say "coming down with something".

Well, now I'm fully down with it, sneezing, sniffling, coughing and everything that goes with it. It's already day 2 of being full blown sick, and I don't feel so awful.. so I hope that means it's going to stay at this level until it goes away. Preferably tomorrow.

I'm not sure of the origin of this illness, it could have been from the guy here who was sick just before me (and therefore I have been expecting this), or if it was from my adventure the other morning, where I ventured into the city of Prague before the sun went up, braving the snow and the cold to get pictures. It was quite lovely, fresh snow and no one around but me, except for this man and his dog that is.
