Unusual energy

 Ive never known such dry sunny weather for Christmas week. The roads are dry and it feels like early March. It makes so much difference at this usually drizzly and murky time of year. Dusk seems half an hour later too. Trees are creaking in the wind as their branches rub together in the dry air. Wood pigeons are cooing, and the sound of motorbikes racing around in the distance is also another Spring sound.

  1. Are you having a drought? We had a drought this year in OR, and then all of a sudden a downpour that resulted in flooding, especially in Washington.

    2. How odd. I always think of the UK having a lot of grey days and rain. Then again, I watched a recent video of what London looks like, and it looks more like Pakistan. It's sad because I always wanted to visit London, and now I'm not so sure anymore! This world is upside down.

    3. I have a relation who wants to visit New York when he's 50. Ive heard bad reports about it from people who have visited from the UK.

    4. New York is not a pleasant place. I wouldn't recommend it. I think California would be better, if they like things like Disneyland, etc.
