    The nice walk in the snow
    The dark evenings
    Christmas

    This has felt like the longest winter ever. I wont miss feeling under the weather every second week, the cold, the dark, the snow.

    Roll on the long wet days of summer.

    ill miss the sense of conversational superiority i got during the whole snow debacle, every time id see two local people meet, or pass by two strangers, theyd be pretty much repeating the same conversation over and over, day after day, about the snow cause theyre boring bastards.

    I won't miss driving on ice, checking the water tank in the attic, paying out for MORE oil for central heating, being almost confined to the house the real bad days!

    Roll on some sort of a summer and really and truly, I will NEVER give out about the rain again!:D

    I really like winter actually. Miss the snow and miss chilling out in my house on days off cuddled up by the fire watching movies. Also gonna miss having bubble baths cuz theyre just not the same in summer!

    That said, I cant wait for bbqs, summer dresses and long bright nights going for walks so I dont mind giving up the above :)

    Nothing at all, good riddance to it. I'll now be able to drive home without it taking 5 hours to do a 70 minute trip. I won't have to be wondering when the **** the pipes are going to unfreeze themselves. My car can now go faster than a bicycle thanks to unfrozen roads. And of course I won't lose any more money because I can't get to work , just because that bastard satan fluff decided to fall out of the sky and **** everything up.

    It was a pain in the arse knowing you winter. Now get the **** out.

    The beautiful blanket of snow.
    Lighting the fire for a nice warm night in.
    Not having to clean the bbq with a wire brush.
    Brisk towelling down after my daily dip in the sea.
    Driving the car with the heater on giving a nice warm feeling.
    Watching the birds at the garden feeders appreciating the food left out.
    The hot water bottle on my feet when I go to bed.
    Cuddles from my better half for a warm-up.
    Watching the watery sun gently melt the snow on the roof.


    Shovelling the snow off the driveway.
    Cleaning out the fire next morning.
    Not being able to have a bbq.
    Freezing to death after coming out of the sea.
    Clearing the ice off the windscreen.
    Having to go out in the cold to feed the hungry birds.
    Filling the kettle for the hot water bottle.
    Feeling her freezing feet on mine.
    Having to get up on the ladder to fix the gutters after the snow wrecks them.

    Tuesday

    I heard it was going to be a Monday, from 4 to 4:15, no?

    two seasons one word... nipples... there's a change, subtle though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,305 ✭✭✭Chuchoter


    I really love winter clothes, and I really hate all the skin you have to show in summer. So yeah, go winter.

    I'm dying for it to be sunny and bright all the time though.:D

    The streets are quieter from skanger kids roaming about the place. They have actually started to reappear in the last week as if they were hibernating.

    I'll miss watching people fall on the ice, especially after a few drinks as they fall again while trying to get up.
    The words "Bambi on ice" come to mind.
