After I left my house this morning to go to work, I noticed that the pub round the corner from my place, Blackie’s, has put out all their outdoor furniture. That put an enormous smile on my face.

Winter, thus we defy thee!

…Then I proceeded to my car, where I had to brush all the frost off my windows because the sun hadn’t risen yet, to melt it away. (But I am totally taking the snow shovel out of the trunk this weekend!)
