Seasons

Seasons are weird here in the UK. At this time of year the weather flip flops between winter and spring. We had a warmer day on Sunday 2021-02-28 and now it is back to being cold again. This time three years (I think) ago we had snow – for Wales rather a lot of snow.

I may not like rain but I rather like snow. There is something nice, I almost want to say romantic, about walking through a field of snow – even if you are walking alone. At least that is true until it starts to melt.

When it melts we are left with a slushy mess, like the picture above, meaning we have to pick our way through the path without slipping and falling! I remember it from those three years ago my walk home took rather longer trying to find my way.

It is beginning to sound like I need to be living in a biodome on Mars isn’t it? What would that be like? To live without seasons. To live without weather.

My hands crack in winter too. There is something up with the skin. And when they crack they also bleed. This is not a good sign.

I am looking forward to summer. Despite what people often say we do have a summer here. I am sure it isn’t as warm, or as long, as somewhere like California but we do have it. Sometimes it is even warm enough to go out in shorts and a t-shirt – imagine that!

I am looking forward to the coming summer and being able to enjoy some nice weather. Last summer was all in lockdown so this one will hopeful be back to something a little more normal.

I hope you are all well and happy. I will see you again soon. Have a wonderful day.

I just wanted to say that I have checked this post. I really have. Unfortunately my particular combination of dyslexia and dyspraxia makes it really hard for me to spot typos. Please enjoy and I’ll try not to make too many errors.

Rain

I don’t know why rain would be the first thing that comes to my mind. Oh that’s right I live in Wales. As I start to write this it has been raining a lot today. (2021-02-21) I like rain about as much as Anakin Skywalker likes sand! Yes I know it is necessary for crops and all that but do we really have to have quite so much of it! Can it not just rain at night! That wouldn’t help since I am sometimes out at work rather late!

When you have somewhere to be rain is a big annoyance. When you don’t you can look out at the crazy weather and be in awe – just how much rain can fit in the sky – so to speak!

Is there a lesson their somewhere? While I am trudging home in the poring rain cursing the universe someone else is admiring the storm.

You can see now why I don’t try and say anything profound on these posts.

I now have a thirty minute cycle to work. My previous bike died on moving day – it was a folding bike and a metal rod, part of the mechanism, snapped. So I have bought a shiny new bike. I have called it Defiant – not just because of the USS Defiant from DS9 “Tough little ship.” but as a reminder to myself that I am doing what I need to do at the moment and never mind what others might think.

I have discovered from this first week in this new flat, at my parent’s house, that things already feel better. Having someone to talk to after a day in work is invaluable and I need that. I, apparently, don’t do well on my own and I am only just starting to understand that but I am still not sure what to do with that information.
