Hello winter, my old friend...
We have been enduring an unseasonal cold spell for the last couple of days. Mind you, considering the terrible devastation that has befallen the Philippines I am not sure if I can really justify the use of 'enduring'; it has certainly been cold and snowy, but far from life threatening. Spirit slumping perhaps.
Since Sunday we have had successive falls of snow and have had to take out the snow shovels a full month earlier than usual. Cian, having been born into this climate, is happy out, his mother is busy cranking up the central heating, and his father is concerned about he is going to pay for the central heating now that electricity prices have been raised 10%.
