Tales of Home [4]

We had spring here until yesterday. So we went from people mowing their lawns to that.

This winter doesn't seem to want to decide on what it is.

The weather is back to being stunning here today. Almost summer-y.

I've given up on making any sense of it.   

Ditto !

does that mean you are a Midlander?

Fuck you, weather.

You should take the week off, stay at home and pretend it's Christmas.   

I might.

I was actually looking forward to spring, though. It is spring now, isn't it?

what's wrong with a bit of snow

You see, when you Fjordlandians get snow, it sticks around for the duration. You accept it as what the world is doing right now. When we get snow, it looks pretty for about 1.5 days, looks like gray slush for 3.7 days, then anywhere between 1 and 3 weeks later it all happens again. There's no regularity.

You can deal with a cold room. It's an intermittent cold draught that's annoying.

.. just build a snowman..

Normally, we (in Maryland) only get one or two snowstorms where there's enough to build a snowman. We've gotten a ton this year, and it hasn't melted quite as fast, but it's still a lot of work for something that will be small and gone soon anyway.

Well, there are other.. possibilities.   

Did I just say that?      

Well, "serious" answer. I think it basically comes down to the fact that we have the means and necessities to deal with snow. But when you get it in places that doesn't have the contingencies everything stops.

Because we live with snow we can deal with it.

Yeah, sorry.   

I have a bit of a cold and am in a bit of a silly mood, so I might just talk complete nonsense tonight.

or u might be drinking.. (drinking and forumshire is not a good idea..take it from experience.)

Hey drinking and Forumshire is a GREAT idea!    

for some...

well, there u go blue, one for and one against, u choose

Cold is real enough. But, yeah, don't worry.

Though thanks for the advice.   

Drinking buckie is not advice, thats like saying breathing is advice    Its just something you naturally do to get through life.   (and awards ceremonies)

It's more like a prescription, you mean?
