It was late, past 11 at night, and probably -11 outside. I walked in to Statoil and bought an ice cream and walked out with it. I wonder what the man serving me thought! It was funny.

I do not want to talk about it.

By the way, it is Saturday.

I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood before going to bed. It was nice to get some air. I walked by a buliding with housing for students that I never had payed attention to before. When I peeked in throgh one of the doors I saw bikes! Each door had a hook outside made for hanging up the bike. Really clever. Those bikes must be feeling so much better that mine. I feel like a bad bike owner leaving my bike outside all snowy and cold. 

Anna-Giulia put together this with Photoshop. The image is constructed out of four photos. Pretty cool right?

We were finally able to make it to one of the movie club meetings. All the previous Mondays we have had programming labs. I really hope that I will be able to see more movies next semester. The spring semester schedule contains most of the movies Anna-Giulia and I wanted(but did not have time) to see at the Norrköping film festival!

When I woke up this morning the thermometer said -24 C. I thought something was wrong with it until I went outside myself. It felt like my nosehair froze on the way to school. It was a funny feeling. -24 degrees Celcius must be negative Fahrenheit as well.
 Yes, I looked it up, -11 F!!

Maja and I took a walk to Old Linköping. The old houses were pretty with all the snow. It was like a idyll. A choir was singing and there was a scent of suger coated almonds in the air from one of the market stands (you could also smell fish from one, but that is another story).

The best buy was a pair of gloves that you can wear down to -30. I was tired of getting cold hands. Now I am ready for a really cold Winter!

I got up extra early to suprise Anna-Giulia with a cake.
I did not have any candles but there is one physalis for each year :)

When I was going home today after the last lecture my lock to the bike had frozen. The key went in and all but I was unable to turn it. I gave up quite quickly becauce my hands became really cold, which made it harder. I was far from the only one with the same problem, but some lucky bastards where able to ride their bikes home in the snow. I wonder what kind of locks they have, maybe they had some special tric or perhaps they just are stronger than me. Anna-Giulia thought we should invent a new lock that works no matter the what weather it is.
