Foggy, but if it turns out like yesterday we'll have sunshine this afternoon.
Tuesday was sunny all day.
Heard a Fasnacht band in the distance at 9 this morning, which seemed a bit previous to me. The official kick-off is at 11.
Several days of racket to come.
Thank goodness I'm now located in the countryside where I can escape it when I want.

Lovely day, all in all.

The snow lay crisp and deep and even.
Well it did until the snow clearers got to work.
Sun doing its best to poke its head through clouds.
Cold but no biting wind to make it extra cold.
Yet.Leave a comment:

I was a little down after a night in a Travelodge shoebox.
Then this lizard used the word 'Murrain'. That's made my day
Sorry to spoil the mood. Everything dies. Life is meaningless. Better?

Helluvanight. Maybe that's why I am cranky (no, not wee Jimmy) this morning. Must have been woken ten times by the battering of the rain and wind. No snow though. Just a lot of wet.Leave a comment:

That might carry more weight if you weren't such a pessimistic, miserable old git yourselfOriginally posted by original PM View PostI was walking into work this morning and saw a poster about CALM

Apparently it is because people get depressed in January because it is dark, cold and they have no money.
Or maybe just mtfu and stop thinking life is going to be easy and all you have to worry about is trimming your hipster beard and whether you fake hipster tw@ glasses are this weeks shade of bulltulip.
