16 years ago today in the midst of the worst winter of my lifetime I woke up to lovely winter scenes courtesy of a snowy northerly. The filth I woke up to today ensures that winter 1997/98 can now lose it's unwanted accolade
Absolutely unreal it just keeps on getting worse. Each week delivers another kick in the teeth. Utterly rank and putrid out there. It's vile. Dark, raining and of course a SE wind. Nothing else delivers garbage like this
This unmitigated horror show of a winter is making me sick to the stomach literally. I am almost never ill but this week I've been struck down by a sickness bug which I blame solely on the foul conditions. The complete lack of any normal hard or even moderate frost to kill off bugs and germs. Nothing but a few pathetic frosts of the brevity and intensity normally associated with April or May
Haven't been outdoors since Wednesday and even then I didn't get out on my usual lunchtime walk because it was one of umpteen days of rotten wet SE'ly crap. Most of my holiday over Christmas and New Year was washed out and all weekends before Christmas were awful. This one is the worst of the lot. It's just a danger to both physical and mental health. An outrageously horrible depressing nasty winter. I am beyond even caring about seeing snow. Just want to see the back of this soul destroying tripe and start being able to actually enjoy being outdoors again.
