Engel 15 Freezer Fridgethere’s something with the passing of christmas and new year that lulls you into an illusion that winter is also over. or that at least the peak of winter is. but fact is, it just started. the temperature outside hovers around freezing point, and i’m shivering just thinking about it, even if i’m indoors and the heaters are all jacked up. but hey, they say that when you’re in a dump, you’ve got to think of things in perspective. which sounds like an oblique way of saying, “think of things or people who are in worse position than you”. pretty mean, but let’s see:

down in the alps, just a few hundred kilometers away, they have -35°C today: that’s twice as cold as most household freezers! brrrr!

*****
update: well, the temps just sank further the last few days, down to -7. as i came back from kindergarten, my ears were about to fall off, the tears were frozen on my eyelids and i don’t feel how many fingers i have left. but hold the funeral flowers, the heaters are all maxed and i’ll be back among the living in a sec!
