Lights on, heating on, and I saw snow flakes amongst the rain battering on the window. Having planned to put away my winter clothes today seems rather premature now ( Read more... )

Because I mentioned spring yesterday, it was wet and windy and about 8 degrees C when I walked home yesterday evening, and the heating came on last night and this morning without anyone touching the thermostat. Such is Scottish weather!

5 months ago I walked home from work in the snow and this evening I did similarly. 5 months of on-and-off snow in this city, which is basically at sea level, has got to be some sort of record.

Why did I think this week was the time to break out my spring user icon?? We currently have a blizzard outside...

Have only broken the work website twice so far today ( Read more... )

I walked home from work in the snow on Friday. And I don't mean rain masquerading as sleet, I mean actual, size of my finger nails, snowflakes. In the city centre. I'm pretty sure this is the earliest it has snowed in Dundee in the 9 years I've lived here.

Definitely a Wild Woman channelling day today - Boots of Wonder, superhero dress, leather trenchcoat, wild and woolly weather (I nearly got lifted off my feet on Hawkhill on the way into work!). Very glad to be in my nice non-howly office rather than the Turret today!

Have I mentioned how much I love autumn recently? ;)

The sun is shining here today and I'm wearing my fabby artisan trousers rather than wool tights. Still a bit sniffly but *fingers crossed* this cold is on the way out - my head and ears aren't too bad today. And our wedding rings are ready and look gorgeous from the photo the guy has sent me! Can't wait to see them in person ( Read more... )

I did at the weekend was finish reading Kushiel's Dart - best fantasy novel I've read all year, I really should have succumbed before now! Thanks to the peeps around here who recommended the series ( Read more... )

It's tad windy this afternoon, like howling windows, creaking roof, vibrating floor, windy. Not pleasant. I'm just hoping my roof and chimneys survive intact!

In other news, I survived my work conference call this morning but my throat has suffered for it and I can just about manage a whisper now :(

Don't you just love winter :/
