Happy Tuesday ๐
It’s a bit hard getting back to regular schedule when you spent 30 days long waking up between 2-3 AM ๐ Yep. It’s 4 AM atm, but I’ve been up since 2.30 AM ๐ Fun ๐
How’s everyone doing, today? It’s windy and we are getting flurries again. However, weather prediction says we are expecting 19C this coming Saturday! Friday will be 14C, Saturday will be 17C and Sunday will be 19C. Wowzer.
Short Winter would be wonderful for sure. Here is crossing fingers for a not so dry Summer, though!
