Well the weather is still cold, but it is amazing how you acclimatize to your surroundings.
It is hard to imagine leaving the house without putting on two jackets and always ensuring that your gloves and beanie are in your pockets.
It is extremely hard to believe that in just a couple of months we will be back to wearing shorts and t-shirts!
Hopefully by then our school gym and soccer pitch will be finished and we can make the most of the good weather while we have it.
In the meantime, we have been looking for indoor activities that we can partake in, as we are not yet crazy enough to go to the park when it is 0 degrees.
One thing we
have found that the kids really enjoy is indoor rock climbing.
There is a gym not far from our place and they have a range of low bouldering walls – this means that you climb across instead of up.
The kids put in a good couple of hours of solid climbing each time we go, with lots of grunting and groaning, and some severe red faces for their efforts.
The only trouble is that now they want to climb everything they pass on the streets – brick walls, dirt banks, trees, you name it, they want to try it.
