It's almost that time of year where we say goodbye to the sun (well, rain in the case of England), and start welcoming darker evenings, shorter days, and colder weather. While this brings about the exciting holidays such as Halloween and Christmas, it's something that I'm beginning to struggle with.
We're barely into September and the sky is dark by 9:30pm, I'm already feeling the need to wear a big winter coat (I am freezing cold!), and well let's be honest my boots didn't even go away for the warm weather but that's beside the point. It is cold.
The cold isn't the only thing I struggle with during the winter months, although I guess it is the biggest one. I think it's because the days are so short, you wake up early and it's dark, and you go to bed and it's dark and you're constantly tired from trying to stay warm and the perpetual darkness. It sucks. The leaves fall off the trees and the landscape is bleak and my winter is going to get oh so much more bleak due to starting work at 6:30am sometimes, or staying there until 9pm. I work at a builder's merchant and it gets cold and dull and it will really not be fun scraping ice off my car before 6am.

Okay, I've got some interesting ones to apply for. Anyway, winter. It can be a struggle, I just want to eat a load of carbs and sleep all of the time and indulge the winter sadness and I hate it, because the months of cold and bleak landscapes seem to drag on and on, whereas in summer and spring and even autumn sometimes, everything is constantly changing and no two days are identical.
I don't know, I guess a lot of people have this struggle at this point in the year but hey ho. I'll keep you all updated on how I get on.
