Snow Footy

Was just taking a well-earned break from my on-line audio course to make myself a cup of Twinings blackcurrant tea and find myself a tasty treat in the fridge when I happened across this:


It's my snow footy. I constructed it meticulously last winter when snow was abound, according to the ancient and treasured tradition. However, it appears to have shrunk to an alarming degree. It was once softball size, but now it's in danger of being mistaken for an ice cube. The guitar pick pictured next to the footy measures about 1.5cm across. I can only hypothesize as to the cause of the reduction - it would seem that excessive opening and closing of the freezer door has been a contributing factor during this brief but intense summer. You'll notice in the picture that the footy's exterior is mysteriously dirty. It's an unexplained phenomenon that pleases me greatly - all snow footballs should be dirty, for it is their role in life to be kicked down the street. I confess to have shelved my newly constructed footy in pristine condition, but it seems that it's true nature has shone through, as if by the hand of god.

Fear not my pet, for winter is nigh. Glory shall be ours.


Random Fact:
Did you know that most teas, including green tea, English tea and Chinese tea all come from the same tea plant? Yes. It's true They all undergo different maturation processes. I am smart.
