Winter Blues

Attire this morning:
  • Woolly winter coat
  • Fleece jumper
  • Woolly jumper
  • + 2 layers of the usual
And that was before I stepped out of the house.

The standard conversation opener at morning drop-offs these days goes: "Cold, isn't it?", followed perhaps by a discussion about how much colder it might get in July/August, the merits of ducted vs gas heating, plans for mid-morning (which invariably include a hot cup of tea).

While we wait for the kinder doors to open, Beth and I devise all sorts of hop-skip-jump games to pass the time and keep ourselves from freezing.

CA and I like to daydream about escaping the chill.

"Brisbane," we promise each other, "We'll move to Brisbane next winter."

Ducted heating is a must-have when we move into our own home.
