Ice station penguin

I've done the usual thing here of writing a speil which has little to do with the photo. Never mind. Here goes:
     Yellow Dog and I made a joint decision this morning not to drive to the doctor’s surgery for my routine blood test. Our cul de sac was like a skating  rink. Last time we went out in these conditions we almost slid into another car.  Yellow Dog on ice is like a penguin wearing roller skates. We were both so alarmed that we vowed never to try it again.
     I asked him if he wanted scraped. “No, I hate that, I’ll just wait for the sun to shine.”  (And it has.)
