ice

Friday, 17th of January, 2020

The coating of frost on the little car is thick today, the windows a mass of floral patterns

done in ice.

Open the door and take out the

scraper, a plastic rhomboid with a rubber

lip on one side, plastic teeth on The other,

a plastic blade and fine plastic teeth.

The ide b only fbrost, it has not hardened

to be a thick ice coating. Scratch it down

with the plastic blade. The windshield,

the side window, and the back window.

get into the car, put the key into the ignition

and-oh look-the outside temperature

warning light goes on, It is minus two

degrees centigrade. No wonder that the

ice was thick.

start the engine, and start to worry

that the road may be icy. It is glistening

wet in the street light illumination, it

may be frozen.

The tyres on the car are summer types. An

added worry, if the police check, then they

will explain that it is winter.
