It's Icy Out There!!!
It has been quite frosty over here for the last few days. In fact the frost hasn't cleared for a day or two so I nipped out to the back garden to snap this picture and brrrrr it really is quite chilly!!!!
You know that way when you are at work and you are busy but everything is going smoothly. Well that was me this morning - and then I get a phone call about one of my girls. Oh no! I thought.
Emma had been walking to her work at around 10.30 this morning when she slipped on the ice and hurt her leg quite badly. She was lucky that she was just beside the school and a couple of people saw her and helped her into school.
The school phoned me at work - that was also quite strange getting a call from the school when all my girls are finished going to school. Anyway they told me what had happened and suggested I pick her up and take her to casualty.
After waiting around for over two hours and an x-ray later we discovered she has soft tissue damage to her ankle. So thankfully nothing too serious - thank goodness!!!
But the scary thing is we found out that some kids had been putting water down to freeze on that pathway and quite a few people had already fallen there. In fact a boy in the school fell the previous day and had to go to casualty too, thankfully he was ok too.
Anyway if it is frosty and icy where you are
PLEASE TAKE CARE!!!
There is not much greenery in my picture - but there is a wee bit so I am going to share today's post with

How dangerous of those kids to be putting water on the pathway for it to freeze over. Think of all the poor older folk.
Nice picture of a frost-covered leaf.

Boa semana.

I love frosty pictures. As I was driving home awhile ago I thought I should get my camera out and take some outdoor shots. All the trees have a lovely layer of frist on them, which is so pretty when the sun shines on it.
SO sorry for my recent absence!
I am trying to catch up with commenting for my friends. Wow, it sure must have made you feel scary☆☆☆ Thank God it wasn't a serious one, my friend.
Already icy!!! Take Care of yourselves.
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
It's just started raining in the last hour so hopefully that'll warm things up (or else have the same effect as 100 kids pouring water on the pavement)
