• Siberian Sun

  This is what we had yesterday. A dreadful  siberian cold with sun and a wicked wind.  Ironic considering that yesterday I said to you that I would take wind and sun over calm and cloud.  So it blew a freezing gale! I still appreciated the sun though even if it was straight from Siberia. Every…
