Almost done, almost done!!!

Yes.. thank goodness. Phew and stuff.

Less than 8 hours to go now... *holds breath.. and then we're in the glorious month o' Feb. Well, the relatively ok month. *lets out breath, gasping desperately*.. It will be nice.

Oh who am I kidding, I don't care. It's going be exactly like this one, just probably colder. And come to think of it last February was a particularly sucky month, and the whole thing about Jan started 2 years ago because of circumstances that don't exist anymore.

But fuck it, I need something to celebrate/talk about.

carry on.

We're getting there.

The first month o' the year is usually.. well, the status us leaving much to be desired, at least for me, at least this particular one, at least that's the excuse I like to use for grumbling, not getting anything done that I put off the last 4 months of the last year because it was/was nearing the holiday season, and for hoping it might improve when that dreaded Jan is over with.

Well, it's not over yet, and it's not the last day of it all so we're hardly sitting pretty yet but we're nearing it. What will happen then is anyone's guess but my guess is not much, things will be pretty much like they are now but with a few more minutes of daylight, which isn't a bad thing really.

I.E Nothing going on at all.*

*see last at least 5 posts during a slow posting period being about nothing at all, and at least the 7 before that being something of a stretch.

A bit o' colour to spruce things up..

I thought I'd try the old caption thing again, seeing as.. well no reason. Here's a picture.

Today we reach a milestone.

Well I do, kind of. As of now my entire first page of emails has the date(numerals) month(abbreviated word) format, ie.. 27 Jan. No more 22/12/09 uglifying the page.

Well it's something.

Ok it's pretty much nothing. I've got to get out more.

You know, it's weird..

it is.

And in the latest observations for the weather blog, I wonder why it's always so cold when it's sunny? I mean, we got a bit of snow again last night after a week of freezing cold weather where it didn't snow but the existing snow didn't melt letting what was there pile up and get packed in hard and all grotty looking and stuff, so I figured it must have warmed up a bit because it always snows when it's a bit warmer, ie -2 rather than -8 or colder.. although the weather site said -6 like it has for the past 4 days whether it's day or night, but it did seem warmer.

Anyway, today we woke up to the sun. I felt it must be warmer seeing as it was already warmer (or it must have been because it snowed) and because the sun was shining. Well I looked at the weather site and it said -8! We went out for a bit and it seemed as cold as it has been for the past week. Actually it seemed quite warm whenever we were directly in the sun, but overall it was still cold.

I find this strange.

Well..

It seems as though someone has a case of blogger's block. Is it a Jan thing? I have a vague feeling that I go through this every year this time, not that I don't for small periods at any time, but always at the beginning of the year.

It's based on nothing but a feeling, and I could be wrong, and I can't be bothered to look it up but in any case it's happening right now.

JMG!

Oh and about the weather..

Yeah I know. I might as well just call it the "what the weather is like here now and a long winded rant about how it affects me" blog. But about the weather.

Yesterday we got more of the new pretty snow that I seem to like so much. It actually snowed kind of heavy, and it was Sunday so I went for a walk in the park, and it was all magical and stuff.

Today it decided to screw that.. we're going straight to gunkville. It was brown and mucky by the morning. I had stuff to do around town so being me I chose to do it all on foot. Fucking huge puddles everywhere.. parts of the street sectioned off because of people shoving snow off roofs, huge piles of brown snow all over the place. I had to peel my socks off when I got home. I'm sure you really wanted to know that.

Apart from that it's been a lovely day. All that Blue Monday stuff is cobblers I say.

Ok it's getting old.

This snow is getting out of hand. It's not still snowing, hasn't for a week now but it's still around, it's brown and gunky and slippery and it's impossible to walk outside. Well not impossible just a pain in the ass... especially if one lands on one's.. not that one has yet *crosses all crossables*

I wouldn't mind if it snowed a bit again making it prettier and letting me do more "shoots" in places I haven't done this year, but I'd rather it just rain heavily one night, then get sunny and nice and 2 to 5 degrees for a few days and then snow prettily again. Why can't the weather happen just exactly the way that is the exact balance of convenient and desirable for us? Well for me? Why?

Yes.. I have NOTHING ELSE TO WRITE GIVE ME A BREAK!

Yes I am almost certain that no one is reading. Let me dream a little.
