I’m often in two minds about discussing the weather. For one thing, it’s so fleeting – one sunny moment in this country could be closely followed by a raging storm. For another, it’s deeply personal – I love autumnal weather the most for it’s rich variety and colourful beauty. But the main reason I despair of weather based writing is that it’s tediously repetitive.
We’re currently in the grip of the worst winter of my lifetime. The worst since 1981 (I was born in 1983). Schools are closing for, what I’m sure seems to many parants, unnecessary reasons. Today, I couldn’t get to my school to teach – I, along with many others, couldn’t even get out of my street. It’s only my fourth snow based reason for not working in my career. I know people who haven’t been to school, to teach or learn, this decade yet.
I find the whole thing incredibly frustrating.
