Winter Is Here

First day of winter and it is freezing and so far it has rained all day.

You know, when I say it is freezing, it is low of 6 degrees and a high of 11 degrees, Celsius. So, you know, it's not Siberia.

But the rain just has not stopped. (tell it to the people of Lismore, I hear you say)

Half the year disappears.

I always think the first half of the year is the happy half, and the second half is more serious, getting down to the grind half. I guess that may have something to do with summer and winter.

The first half disappears so quickly.
