Finally, winter has arrived. No more of that crappy driving rain and miserable grey skies. If you want that, go live in Göteborg. After a few weeks of general dithering, we finally got the first decent snow dump. Life looks brighter already, and it means I've safely negotiated through another year of icey pavements. Give me this white powdery stuff any day. Now we just need for the temperature to be right. Today it's minus 10 deg C. Which is just a plain awkward temperature. A fraction too cold for an autumn jacket, and about 5 degrees too warm for a winter jacket. I love my winter jacket, it's like never getting out of bed all day. Problem is that it's like wearing a frickin sauna if the temperature is warmer than about -12 or 13. Even more so once you get on the bus and it's like driving through the streets of Bangkok. It's such an effort to get the thing on and off every time, that I like to wait until it's really worth my while. But this is a step in the right direction. God I love winter.
