Beautiful Day

It's a beautiful day. The sun has been shining for the last hour; when I put my hand on the window the cold doesn't bite the back of my hand. I didn't even have to put gloves on for breakfast...

It's amazing how much the weather affects people here. It seems I'm told by most people I meet that 'winter' has lasted for an extra couple weeks this year. It's not just the cold, but the constant overcast and 'English weather'. It really seems to be on people's mind most of the time. A Polish friend asked yesterday why "the Brits didn't leave the convicts here and all move to Australia...?"

Here's to hoping Spring is here to stay - or at least the sun has gained a foothold.

Off to work for me.
