I officially hate winter. Seriously, I do. Yes, yes, I’m Norwegian, so I should just love skiing and being outdoors and all that.

But, no. Snow looks much better from inside the house. Particularly when we get cold winds from Siberia and only a few centimetres of the white shiny stuff. It’s not enough to go skiing, but it’s plenty enough to make you slide off the road when you drive. That is, if you can manage to wipe off the ice from the windows so you can go driving at all.

And the cold? Yikes. I agree with the birds. It’s better to migrate south during winter.

Anyway, things are looking up. Next week we’ll have 5 degrees and rain. Now that’s more like it. Maybe I’ll even finish that Christmas story I’ve started. I just have to find that Christmas spirit again….. I wonder where I put it last year….lol…
