I am in Armidale at the moment - on the cold slopes of New England. At Christmas time I am wearing jeans, jackets, scarves, and huddling under the doona at night. I love being here, but there is one thing that is a problem in Armidale in the cold, and I have not found a solution for it yet.
Cold book hand.
You know, when you are reading a book in bed at night, which I do every night for about an hour, and the hand holding the book gets really cold.
It sounds very trivial I know. But it concerns me.
But maybe I am in a place where cold book hand can be a concern. I am very blessed and grateful for all the things I do have - family to love, books to read, a house to live in, Christmas ham to eat tomorrow, and friends to play with.
Maybe I should get a glove and stop complaining about cold book hand.
Yeah, get a glove you Grenfell Grumbler!!
ReplyDeleteWhile you're out, can you pick me up some more socks? Thanks
omg i get cold book hands too!!! and you can't buy normal fingered gloves cos then you can't turn the pages.. the only solution i have found is gloves + tweezers to turn pages or hobo gloves (probably not the technical term, but gloves with the tips cut off so your fingers aren't suddenly an inch thick). I kind of think it's part of the adventure of reading though. Nothing like the adrenaline of a cliffhanger chapter plus numb fingers!
