And cold, and early nights, and more rain...
This is the time of year when I want to just curl up on the sofa and stay there till March. Yesterday, I pretty much did that. But not till March, obviously.
The EFFORT it took, to get dressed in twenty-seven layers and get out there yesterday... Margo felt it too, and we put off our grocery shopping till today. Today is sunnier, but still cold. Three degrees. Bleh.
So I just need to get a grip, get dressed, and get out. Right?
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.

3 Celsius, right? That's above freezing. Now, I know you spent many years in the tropics, and anything below 30 is probably rather chilly for you - but toughen up. Grow some. Think of your ancestors in those chilly old stone castles. Of course, they could always throw another peasant on the fire ... but still, stone houses are cold.
This is why God gave us slippers and hot tea, right? It's coming here...soon.
Ever wondered WHY I stayed in the tropics so long?? Yeah, large stone houses on tops of strategic windy hills are chilly even with modern heating put in.
I love my lil' upstairs flat!
And SOME of us have no choice! We have to go out in the wet and frost and snow!
So yes get a grip! Heheehehe
