i am here!

5 degrees C?
no wonder i am hiding at home,
where the heater keeps the room at a comfortable 22 degrees C.
tucked nicely posting this while warming my hands on a cup of hot milk.

that's cosy?
not if you have only just arrived from where people run in shorts and practically nothing on top.
i had to run in my full armour: cap, windproof top (with 2 layers under) and windproof pants.
next time i have to add a beanie and a scarf to block the chill from my face.
but a consolation was that i could run anytime of the day,
no more fear of the scorching sun zapping my energy.
can you believe i went running at 130pm?
typically i would be hiding indoors back at the equator...

arrived here on sun evening and finally conjured up courage to step out in the cold for the run.
only on wed.
a good start i think.
i will get used to this, i am trying.
adjusting to a freezing autumn/winter is no joke when summer was all you knew.
should have listened to everyone and put on 10kg before this trip.
ha ha excess baggage.

the sun rose at 745am this morning and looks set return home soon...
it is only 330pm...
bedtime!
