I was going to call it "signs of spring", then I realised that's a couple of months premature. However, I thought it worthwhile noting that things are slowly, almost imperceptibly getting "better"*...
- For me, as of Monday I've not been wearing my rubber booties. They haven't been off since the end of November when it started to get *really* cold.
- Also, by the time I get showered, changed and up to my desk, it's now light enough outside to not need lights.
* = as far as the seasons are concerned, if not the driving or road surfaces
