it was nice.

Even though we ran around the park four hours, running in a constant circle for school. And we got cold and wet- and wore a cloak of goose pimples- and our teeth chattered. We ran... our scarlet noses ran... but it was the best fun I've had.

After our eternal laps we arrived at a bar and drunk spiced apple juice with ginger and cinnamon and ate mini chocolate bars labelled "milk".
For a while we happily nattered about scones and rainbows.
And then danced to Christmas songs.
With genuine smiles.
It Was Nice.
