I had so many plans today.
... And then I checked the weather and it's -22C and I'm thinking, maybe not.

ಠ_ಠ How many days do we have until summer, again?

On monday we had a maximum of 31C. -___-

At least we had lots of rain yesterday, so the heat has subsided a bit.

You know, suddenly the cold snap we've been having over here doesn't seem so bad. 31 C would melt me.

Yeah, our summer is merciless. You can barely survive here if you don't have air conditioning.
By the way, there's a big fire happening right now in one of the hills I can see from my window, and I just spotted the firefighter's helicopter. You know summer is near when there's at least one different fire spot every week.

Thanks everyone. -_-; I probably shouldn't complain, because this is normal and it'll only get colder from here, but I just want to curl up and hibernate, not gonna' lie.

... Or hop on a plane to visit Starfallz and then Mélusine, that would would be good too. ;p

Daéa YIKES that sounds utterly ruthless, I'll wish lots of cool rain for you.

I have tea, biscuits and chocolate bar. We could quietly write. Or talk. Even in the garden.

Suddenly the -11C we had here around noon doesn't seem so bad. Especially since it didn't last very long, It's *only* about -6C now. Wishing I had some warmer sweaters though.
Pretentious? Moi?

Clawing my face off at the idea of living in Manitoba. Blech.
Though my go-to location when people take shots at where I live is actually "At least it's not Yellowkinfe". ;p ~It could always be worse!

That sounds utterly wonderful. (Especially in the garden ---! Mine's covered in snow ;-; )

Ahh yeah, that's not too bad! A tad chilly, but not too bad. Goes down better with cozy sweaters and hot drinks mind you. : D

Mm, might depend on how the sweater is knit? Wool is nice and breathable.

weather finally decided to drop from about 5ish to the zero-zone. and with that:

SNOW

a teeny tiny amount of snow, though. i mean it's okay but it's ALSO okay if viola wants to steal all of it, seeing as I will have to practice driving
you'll know where to find me.

Driving in the snow story!

Spoiler: snow • show

When I was learning how to drive, there was a fairly big snowstorm. Not too bad, but enough that the road-clearing services were overwhelmed and school closed. It also happened to be the day that my dad was supposed to get his car back from the shop since he had brought it in for new something-or-others. He decides this is just the perfect time for me to learn how to drive in the snow, and we all set out into it. Going down the steep, windy road that leads from our home was actually not the issue: liberal use of brakes and the very lowest gear helped that. No, it was going back up that was the problem. It was steep and windy and covered in snow. So at the bottom of the >1 mile road you have to get up as much speed as you can handle and pray that it's enough momentum to carry you over the top of the hill. If you stop, there is no way to start again. You cannot slow down on the turns or you'll get stuck. And because there was snow everywhere, I was sliding and fishtailing all over the place. And then once you get over the crest of the hill, you immediately have to start braking so that you can make the turn onto my street (and not crash through the guard railing into my neighbor's yard). Fortunately, it's a very wide road and there was no one out (sensible people). I survived without destroying anything, but I was basically going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA all the way. Needless to say, I'm glad to say I've never had to do that again -_-
:usa: Yes.
:spain: Out of practice.
:finland: Failed to learn.
:vaticancity: Probably remember five words.
White text: Always ;P
