It has turned rather cold the last couple of days here in Spain. We are having maximum temperatures of 5ºC(41ºF) in the afternoon. That means that the temperature has dropped about 10 degrees in 10 days time.
In the south of Spain it has been snowing in regions where it hadn't been snowing in the last 50 years. And mountain villages have been isolated due to the heavy snowfall. Living at sealevel close to the sea protects us from the snow.
But still I have been arming myself with gloves and a scarf lately.
And then I get these comments from the jokers that are my colleagues: "Aren't you from up North?? You should be accustomed to this cold! But you are dressed warmer than any of us."
The bad thing is that with this cold we are not having any courage to do anything useful after work. So we have been staying at home, watching tv. And that always gets me down a little. After watching 2 hours of tv, I'm already fed up with it and start getting bored.
And I thought Spain was that country where the sun was always shining.

"winter" climate is alien to us. we have no such climate. and chris, here the sun is always shining. don't you just envy me (wink wink) :D
hey i'm sure you can find things that you can do indoor.
Yes, Amie, I do envy that, not having a winter climate. What's the minimum temperature you have over there in a whole year? Winter can really bring a person down. Although it is much better here in Spain than it was in Belgium. Here the days are never that short as they were in Belgium. That was really depressing! And here we only have about one month of real cold.
And you are right. There are enough things a person can do indoors.
You'll find things to do indoors. restaurants, nice café, long walks: you have gloves, shopping, you don't have to stay indoors just because it's cold. Now go out you hear! Enjoy the weekend :-)
