Today feels like Winter has finally arrived. I think it must have made some backroom deal with Summer though, something along the lines of “Hey bud, fancy clockin’ in for me while I kick it at home a bit longer? I promise I`ll be late clocking out for you next year, I’m totally good for it!”
The last few weeks have
been so mild, evidence of which is the swarming of the insects around
the hedgerows, and, get this, I heard a cricket on the lawn a few
days ago! I know! I have a feeling that
said cricket will be dead soon. We have had hail and sleet so far,
heavy downpours, a chill wind, and the temperature has dropped by
around five degrees celcius.
My fingers are cold, my neck is
beginning to feel the breath of the dead (or drafts if you want less
drama), and I am drinking more hot drinks. Yes winter is here and I
say about time.
