Winter is coming!
Stayed in today. Winter has hit London now, and honestly, I'm lovin' it! I'm such a winter baby it's not even funny. I LOVE cold weather, I'm no good in hot weather. In cold weather you get to wear scarves and boots, gorgeous coats and lovely gloves. When you drink a hot beverage it's wonderful. When you cuddle up to someone, it's absolutely necessary! *Mind drifts off at this point to a certain cuddle I got in the wee hours of a weekend*
However I stayed in today, and will most probably stay in tomorrow. I have to get some work done. I've been falling behind with my writing and my reading. The pages are in front of me and there are times when I get into it, until I get distracted. Actually Wednesday was my fault. I took work with me while I did some errands, and sat in Soho killing time before I had to go and meet my gran to watch The Da Vinci Code at the Prince Charles cinema. However, as I read I realised that I didn't have to sit here alone, and wondered if a certain person who worked in the area would be interested in joining me for a quick cup of coffee. I got a bit of a surprise when I got a reply from that person saying they wouldn't mind having that coffee... I was told that they'd be done with work after 6 which was good for me as I didn't have to make a move until 7. Now I'm a pain in the ass about punctuality (even though at times I seem to have a minor problem with it), but I'm usually on time to things and I expect people to be on time too. It was 6:50 when I decided to send a text to tell them not to worry about meeting up as I needed to make a move. I was quite sure that the person had forgotten me actually and had left to go home. However, I was pleasantly surprised when they phoned to tell me that they were on their way.
We didn't chat long, but it was still nice to see them. I ran to Leicester Square and caught up with my gran. We had a quick chomp on some Chinese before almost missing out movie (damn those slow waiters! Good thing the food is so good). On the train home I realised that I was lucky to have gloves because it was too cold to be in just a jacket and scarf. As the chilly night time breeze came rushing through those doors of the train, I closed my eyes and realised, another year, another winter, and how lucky I am to be here to experience it again.
