Yesterday morning when I woke up it was snowing outside. In general this makes me very happy. But then a little later (somewhere in the vicinity of noonish - I work nights!) while I was lying in bed reading my power went out. - My apartment is super dark.

Every now and then it really gets to me how much further North I'm living than I ever have before. I'm still pretty damn close to the US boarder, but when I lived in Ontario I was well below the 49th (if I remember correctly from the charts and things when sailing we were around the 44th or 45th), and I think that Halifax was even further South, ( Read more... )

It's snowing! Yay! You'd think it wasn't Edinburgh! And I'm glad that I went to the zoo yesterday instead of today. As it was it was cold enough that a lot of the animals were hiding away inside. The poor things. The poor, cute things ( Read more... )

Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. It was cold and windy - but that was mostly because I was stupid and didn't bother wearing a sweater under my coat. It's January. Parts of my brain still think that it's supposed to be colder ( Read more... )
