Winter is Upon Us Once More

Over the last week, the temperatures have dropped a few degrees announcing that Winter is now upon us. The winds are now starting to bite, the days are getting noticeably shorter and the year is drawing to a close. This dark, dank weather will probably be with us until the end of February next year, by which time we will all be sick of it.Regards


I always look forward to the first signs of the Daffodils poking through the ground. This is the sign that the days will soon be warmer and the weather better. The first opening of those bright yellow trumpets chasing away the greys and browns of winter, lifts my heart and brings hope for the coming year.

In the mean time I will just have to put up with dismal days, low temperatures and gloom.

And Another Week Begins

It's Monday morning once more and the week begins as ever with a train journey to work. The train is only slightly delayed, which is not an uncommon occurrence. It's one of those things that you get used to. Today there is a seat with name on it, which is always a welcome discovery.

The sun is also with me this fine morning. This is also a well sight as all to soon the weather will deteriorate into the dark, damp gloom of winter. The days will be short and the air cold. Darkness will consume the country for what seems like a lifetime. All the time longing for the appearance of the Daffodils which announce the arrival of spring to lift out spirits.

January Blues

I was going to write about all the things that have been getting me down this week. In fact I wrote over 200 words on the subject, but that just made me feel even more feed up and I was sounding like a “Super Grumpy Old Man”. So I stopped my moaning and got on with my day instead. By lunchtime I was snowed under with work and started to feel useful once more. The final therapy came at 3pm when I received the weekly gentle reminder from my calendar to fill in my timesheet. This of course signals that the weekend is now insight. A fact which always cheers my heart.

Then I cheered myself up further by writing this little song.

I woke up this morning,
And crawled out of bed.
Outside was dark & wet,
Indoors was just cold.
I moaned to myself,
like I always do,
I just can’t get out of these, January Blues

It sounded much better when I sang it to myself in the kichen. Honest it did!

Perhaps January isn’t all bad 8-)


Regards

I'm sure you'll all be glad to know that we didn't waste our time while snowed in on Wednesday 8-)

I must admit that my head is now a little cold as he's wearing my hat. But there really is no need for sympathy as I have a spare.
