It is normal at this time of year to go outside and find that the ground is hard and frosty. But it is possible to get a frosty reception at any time of the year. It happens when you arrive somewhere, e.g. a party, and the host is not pleased to see you – perhaps because of something unkind you have previously said or done. Maybe after a few drinks and a nice slice of birthday cake the atmosphere between you will begin to thaw and you can kiss and make up. 😉😘

Idiom of the day – Be careful
If somebody tells you to be careful they are giving you a warning that something dangerous could be just around the corner. This plastic warning post was placed on the road to warn drivers that there was a large unwieldy tree close to the road that could potentially cause an accident. A reckless passerby chose to rip the post from its stand and throw it down on the other side of the road. This person clearly did not see the value in this post, which was warning drivers to be careful – to take care.
