My Favourite Weather

I think I must be from a different planet as I always seem to like the things others don’t.  When anyone moans it’s going to snow I just beam with delight.

There is something about the cold and wintery weather that makes me feel really alive.  Not always so keen on the rain (that’s more to do with scarecrow hair), but really cold, dry or snowy conditions I love.

So today has been great for me.

I’ve always been a bit precious about getting to work in any circumstance, but today I took an entirely different viewpoint.

I didn’t feel too good last night (picked up another cold from the air conditioned office I am temping in) and along with the fact that all local schools were shut gave me enough incentive (after being persuaded by hubby too) not to go in.

I am so glad I didn’t.  Although I could have done with the rest, I have had a lot of fun with the children, one of whom has never seen so much snow.  They all did the snow angel thing and my one son took huge delight in acting all action man like and rolling in the snow every time I pelted him with a snowball.

My youngest who has never seen thick snow like today surprised me the most.  Although wellies are the order for the weather like this, at one point she went out in shoes and was caked in snow.  Did it bother her, of course not, just wanted to do it more.

It’s times like this that good memories are made and it far outweighed trying to get into work feeling under the weather.  I wouldn’t bother tomorrow either, if it wasn’t for the fact that as a temp I don’t get paid and I’m having some holiday next week.  Bah humbug!
