Those of you who know me better must have been worried for my sanity when you read my last post and saw that I had made soup instead of meat for myself to eat.
Let me reassure you that I am as insane as ever (and still a carnivore). It is just that we are recording record lows in the temperature here at the moment; it is -18 degrees. With this in mind I decided to go for something which I thought would warm me all the way through seeing as I don't drink tea or coffee.
When I heard how low the temperature was and kicked through the snow outside I did cast my mind back to one of the worst moments of my life so far - the day on which I was misfortunate enough to watch 'The Day After Tomorrow'! This film was the 'Sex and the City' of apocalypse movies - it was so depressingly bad I felt the urge to enter the movie myself with some sort of automatic weapon and end everyone's misery. If things are that bad people, just give up and die!!! Don't hide in libraries and walk through blizzards. But enough ranting about this movie, that is not the point of this post.
It is ridiculously cold and one does wonder how many old people will indeed make it through this Winter season, which by all rights should have ended with Christmas because (let's face it) it is the UK. It may be that I will actually have to wear a coat and dig out a hat and scarf and such.
People are getting sent home from work and many schools have shut themselves down because they lack enough salt to make their walkways safe. No-one is complaining. I just wish that I was back at work or still in school so I could enjoy these effects of the weather.
