Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

Spring chill

Spring chill

The weird thing about the first hints of spring is that it temporarily seems so much colder than winter was In the dead of January, it's -15C outside and you nonchalantly tell the kids to go outside and play. Now, in mid-March, it's getting to be +5C and sunny and you're side-eyeing outside like "welllll, it's a bit cold to send the kids out..." Something about the increased daylight and lack of snow resets the "acceptable temperature" meter. I suppose it's all about the state of mind.

Oh, the sun is nice, though. I remember feeling sun-starved last year when March and April came around. I can't wait until it's warm enough to actually expose some skin to those beautiful rays!
