i want to write something but i don't know what, how stupid is that?

ok, will start with a British classic: the weather :)

the sun was out today, what a glorious summer day, just when we thought that winter had set in the weather changes to give us the nicest surprise. does this mean that we're in for a colder winter when it eventually arrives? i grew up in Sheffield and was born further north in Middlesbrough, a place whose name i never knew how to spell until fairly recently! now both of those places used to have snowy winters so i grew up loving the cold white stuff. now as an adult i think it looks glorious on day one but after that it just becomes a nuisance. how come our attitudes change? i now live in the south west where snow doesn't happen very often but when it does the whole world stops, it's as if the idea of gritters on the main roads has not yet been invented. consequently everything grinds to a halt, which sadly makes the snow seem like a very bad idea all round, no one can get out, the roads and pavements become icy danger zones and the chance of getting a bus are virtually nil unless you live within city limits.

when i moved into this house i didn't like the area, too far away from civilisation, and yet it is only a mile from town, i live at the top of a very steep hill, watching people try to ride their push bikes up it is funny. a bus driver who lives down the road told me he has to ride his bike into work on a sunday as the buses only run once an hour from here, but he always pushes the bike back up the hill! now, years later i like living here for the exact same reasons as i used to dislike it ~ it's quiet, peaceful and too far up a steep hill to be bothered by many door to door salesbugs or other obnoxious people. anyway, i now quite like living here and although i was planning on moving, i now can't find anywhere else i would like to live.

so either i'm just one of those people who changes their mind or i grow into or out of things as i age!
