Might snow by Sunday

It cheers me to think that we are on the way to Springtime. Nights are starting later now – noticeably on some days! – and we are mere moments away from packing up picnics and preparing to cover Mathew in Factor50 suncream.

Well – we’re halfway through January, at least.

There’s an annual thing that happens about this time. Everyone feels like shit, and wonders why, forgetting the fact that it’s MidWinter and we no longer have the excitement of Christmas to see us through the long, dark dullness. Just about every conversation I’ve had with someone in the past seven days has started with them saying “I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but…” and then listed a long quota of symptoms that can all be explained by looking up ‘Low Mood’ and ‘Lack of Sunlight’ online.

I’m not complaining though – I’d be right there with you any other January, but this year I’m slightly distracted by the fact that we have a baby in the house.

(Had I mentioned the fact that I’m now a parent??????)
