Cold and dark

It is presently unseasonably cold here. Our weather near the Tay is typically very mild but today when I left for work it was around -5°C. I am adjusting to finding good opportunities to do chores: at times over the summer I would look for my chances between rainshowers to mow the yard. Now, with the weather becoming colder and the days growing short, I am making the most of time home in the early afternoon's light to do tasks like check the cars' tire pressures and windshield washer fluid.

On the one hand, I miss the proper winters we would get in the US, but then we had the money and equipment to deal with them. Here I can be content with whatever makes life easy.
