winter

Yesterday, there was a fog all day. Each light had a halo. Lights also diffused into droplets in the air. Objects and figures loomed mysteriously at only a short distance. It lent quite an atmosphere to the day. The sky was pale blue. All the trees were rimed in frost so there was a lot of white about which made the gloomy day brighter. I carried in the Christmas tree in its netted condom. It dripped frost onto its blanket.

Also, it was chill outside, for the first time during this globally warmed winter. This was not unpleasant. I had to wear a beanie to cover my ears.

This morning, there is no frost. Instead, everything is dripping. The asphalt is wet. The grass is green and moist. Various branches in flame-like or fan-like configurations are outlined in black against the white sky. It is mild again.

These days the sun sets at 3.30. P.m. It is now a quarter to five in the afternoon and it's pitch as black outside.

I consider this weather.
