Winterness.
Brr! It’s a bit chilly out! -4 last night, apparently. So, an icy foggy drive into work followed by hanging over the radiator gossiping and drinking giant mugs of coffee was required. Wandered down to the harbour at lunchtime – the yachts which have been left in the water have iced riggings and look very eerie in a ‘flying dutchman’ kind of way.
And with Winteryness upon us, it was our band’s Christmas Concert last Sunday evening. We were all full of the cold, as it happens, but we managed to rally enough to belt out our christmassy tunes! Child #1 did particularly well with his trombone solo of ‘All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.’
It’s turning out to be a winter like those I had as a lad – we had a light dusting of snow at the end of November and have had heavy frost pretty much every morning. Looks like it’s going to a cold one – just how I like em! Last year was a bit too warm and wet to be a proper winter.
