We mope in the gloom

Global warming - you must be having a laugh !!   "Spring" with all that the word conjurers up, has played a joke on us this year and no mistake. As I look out of the window it's snowing the car is covered and the streets empty as people stay indoors. We haven't seen the sun for ages funny to think that its burning warm and bright above the cloud base that continues to cover the UK.  So far, so near !!
The weather is the one downside of living here. It effects moral, it effects the hormonal chemistry and subverts ones capacity to view life with an optimistic frame of mind. The sun boosts our willingness to believe that the bright world around us is interesting and supportive, not wet and hostile.
There was a report the other day that our weather pattern is set to produce poor climatic conditions up until 2020, what a pleasing thought !!   
I can remember in years gone by,complaining of too much sunshine. Of how the continuous heat was draining, stultifying as one laid in bed, sweating, listening to the high pitched drone on the mosquito and the ticking of the night time clock waiting the dawn for the light to flood in through the window, the stimulus we needed to energise a new day.

Are we ever happy. The central heating copes with the cold but our spirits are low as we mope around in the gloom.
