reindeer are funny people. they seem to have been created with too big feet, so they all look like silly clowns when they walk.

we've spent the easter with the family in law. today we went on a sledge behind a snowmobile, which was supposed to be nice and cosy but there was something wrong with the sledge so it fell over. having a little nephew in the lap and realising that you are soon going to fall was a bit scary, but i told him we were going to make a somersault and he just had to hold on to me and keep his arms and legs in and it would be really exciting. fortunately it worked out fine, and he was laughing even though we landed in a mixture of reindeer poo and snow and water (not a very good smelling mixture at all). the brother in law's girlfriend had the little baby niece in her lap, and she was in shock and not very happy and friendly at all during the rest of the day, though.  ¶ 8:56 PM
