Cold legs, warm hearts.

I'm loving the cold air that's swirling around Larne this afternoon. It feels like a long time since the air has been cold and it makes me remember late autumn in Madrid. That's the right time to be in Madrid or Paris, late autumn when the heat of summer has been forgotten and people are getting on with life and are no longer bad-tempered from the heat.
I walked along the Cairncastle Road in the cold surrounded by teenagers getting out of school, boys proudly striding out with girls’ hands in theirs and the waif-like girls running to keep up on legs that are red with cold and dangle out of school skirts that have been hoisted up all the way to Honolulu, showing as much thigh as they can get away with.

I could have loaned you some cold air lately if you needed it. (But, I guess that depends on what you call "cold". It's 5C right now and I'd happily let you have some of that.

I never did understand the Catholic School uniforms for girls with their short-short skirts unless like you said the girls are hoisting them up. Can't they wear tights underneath?

That's the first thing the girls do when they get out of school is roll up the waist to make the skirts short.
