Winter in the middle of two oceans

The cold and damp, damp weather has come in here. We will not see any kind of bright days until March or April, if we're lucky. It is quite strange, I do remember loving winter in Scandinavia, the 6 months of snow and darkness had not been that hard to bear. It is my fourth winter in here, I have to say I am not a fan. Although the autumn can be beautiful and warm and colourful (the picture was taken in October), winter is grey, grey, grey. Sad like Hell, the skies are falling onto your shoulders, everything seems heavier and difficult.


Luckily I had the good idea to buy an extremely hip accessory: a hot water bottle! It is coooooooool! I have to precise that central heating is still a luxury in a very high number of apartments in Dublin, the only thing lots of people have are those horrible electric radiators.. It costs your ass, it is ineffective and environmentally bad bad bad.. I therefore bought this thingy to warm me and my feet when I am watching a film or reading and put it a bit before going to bed under the blankets. It is marvellous! I do recommend it to everyone!

Happy Monday!
