Clinging On

Will this winter ever end? I asked last week. The answer it seems is no. Opening my eyes this morning, the first thing I saw was the tree in the courtyard, its bare branches once more turned white and heavy with melting snow.

Spring is another country, a million miles away from here.

same here.. when I left Berlin it was sunny with almost spring-like temperatures, giving you a false sense of hope that winter was gone.. as soon as I set foot on home soil it was back to snow, rain and generally gloomy weather...
Unfortunately, unlike other things that make you miserable, you can't turn it off.

Those other things wouldn't involve eleven men in black and white stripes, would they?

Quite nice here today though, wasn't it? ;o) Enjoyed reading your comments about Riga!

Very nice, but I'm not holding my breath for the rest of the week.
