Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Woke up to a really cold wintry morning yesterday. The temperature was 1.5 degrees Celsius. We stepped into our Audi but the car refused to start. After many failed attempts, we had to use our spare car. Thankfully I got to work on time. Oh, what a black Monday.

Today I did not have to work. However, Keith wanted me to drive him to work due to the lack of parking spots available in town. It was yet another cold foggy morning with temperature of 2 degrees Celsius. Keith told me to be careful when driving home as he found the roads slippery. I did not pay much heed to his advise as I was still in 'sleep' mode.

On my way home, I was looking forward to crawling back into bed when I drove over an icy patch while turning and the car started steering all over the place. It gave me a fright as I thought I was going to have another expensive car spinning incident. With the Audi out of order, I didn't need this car to join the party. Thank goodness lady luck was shining on me. I managed to gain control of the steering wheel and got home safely and scratch free. Home was just less than 50 steps away from where it took place. Winter blues are definitely here! Blame it on the weather! Brrrrrrrrrr.
