@ James
Baby, it’s getting even colder this weekend. As I’m sure you’ve heard, a blizzard is on its way — to Boston! Are you losing any of your resolve? Take care…
I expect James is still in the checkout line at his local supermarket, if it’s anything like mine was yesterday!
I feel for you, and I admire your courage and stamina!. We just escaped the nasty weather here in West Virginia, but winter it is. And having grown up in wet, misty, damp, chilly Holland, I know I am not a winter person. Neither am I a tropical heat person, which I know because I’ve suffered through it in various countries. Fortunately I/we now have a choice to go expat-ing wherever we please, so we’ll find us a more agreeable climate this year.
Stay warm and enjoy your fireplace!
Thanks for the support! Although as it turned out I actually really enjoyed the blizzard! Wading through streets covered with thick snow where cars can no longer pass gives the city a very different feel – it erases all those traffic boundaries and that’s quite liberating. So there’s always a silver lining – but it’s nice to have a good moan every now and then!
