Winter

I can’t stand winter. It drives me to despair. I mean, take this morning for example. Alarm goes off and it feels like it’s still 3am. Stumble to the shower. Discover that the heating has not been on long enough to heat the huge room which is our bathroom. Take mental note to adjust heating timing. Shower and shave. Out to the car in the freezing, pissing rain and wind.

I mean, it wouldn’t be so bad if I was actually going anywhere worthwhile. Anywhere other than work. I mean, it doesn’t bother you getting up early if you are going on holiday does it ? But this place is no holiday. That’s a bona-fide fact.

I shouldn’t really be so down though. This is my last day in work for a week and a half. The alarm won’t ring at 6.45am tomorrow morning and I won’t venture out in the dark. Thank God for small mercies. This time tomorrow morning I may still be in bed. Alternatively, I may be sitting with a nice cup of coffee, a bowl of porridge and the paper. Which is a nice way to start the day.
