Fall
For the first time this year my friend Paul and I went skiing in the Laurentians. I was a bit worried how my knees would hold out since I had to stop skiing halfway during last winter because it became too painful.
But so far they withstood the beating fairly well. My legs are sore, but that is normal: with cross-country skiing you use muscles you never use the rest of the year. At least I don’t. I’m also out of shape but that too was not entirely unexpected. It was nice though, albeit very cold and the sun only came out from behind the clouds when we left for Montréal.
(I even emailed and twittered from the trail, in the middle of nowhere. But the iPhone keyboard didn’t like the cold and my Twitter message was eaten by the backspace key that came ‘stuck’ en letter for letter erased all I had just typed. Very frustrating, fortunately it was only hundred forty characters or so.)

That thing with the iPhone, do you really think it’s something to do with the cold? ‘Cause I had it once too, but I don’t think it was very cold then. My iPhone crashed shortly afterwards, IIRC, so it might just be some bug.
What twitter client do you use on your iPhone? I’m not all too happy with Twinkle, as I don’t use the ‘nearby’-function and I’m not very fond of the starry interface. I’d like to have something ‘lighter’, that just pushes my tweets and shows my feed.
(My legs are less sore today then I expected yesterday, but I suppose I’ll have to wait till tomorrow to really know how my ice skating muscles will hold.)

If it happened in the Netherlands it couldn’t have been caused by the cold, ccould it? :-)
We’ll see, I did reboot and then it happened again. Then I gave up and twittered when I was at home.
I use Tweetsville, but have also used Tweetie and Twitterific. Still don’t know which one I like most.

You might be surprised: it has been freezing -15 (Celcius) in the south-east for several nights in a row now. Thaw is coming in though, so the chances for an ‘elfstedentocht’ aren’t so good.
I’ll check on the twitter clients, tnx.

as I can see, you don’t have problems with your frozen shoulder
Nice photograph

My frozen shoulder is more or less healed. I still can’t sleep on it without my arm getting numb, but for the rest it is fully functional.

Nice header for an obviously wintery picture!
