almost summer

Back to my Taswegian blog. Both winter and spring have come and gone, well, nearly gone in the case of spring. December 1st sees the official arrival of summer here.

Where has the year gone and how has it sped by so quickly? Perhaps there's a conspiracy amongst the gods of time to speed up time. Perhaps we're getting old. Perhaps both.

Today's been an odd day starting out overcast then warming up to a lovely intermittently sunny 20°c 68°f. In the early afternoon the temperature dropped to 10°c 50°f and a couple of squally stormlets moved through. I thought we were possibly finished with the wood fire until autumn this coming April or May, but we decided to get some warmth in here and I got the fire going. We had a laugh at each other, Stuart and I: a couple of years ago we'd likely have toughed it out in a cooling house.

The time gods are innocent. We're getting old.
