Oh my goodness doesnβt time fly!! 37 weeks pregnant already! Exciting times ahead for sure.
I missed your reply, sorry... In 2 days she's 38 weeks now!
I talked to her this afternoon and they've chosen to not receive visitors after the birth during the first 3 days :'( So I won't see my granddaughter until she's 4 days old.
I respect their choices of course, but I do feel disappointed.
I remember walking 2 miles to work one morning at Easter time when I was 18 yrs old and by the time I got to my workplace at 9 am I had a suntan. I think we had better weather back in the olden days
I remember 2020βs weather as it was the week our first covid lockdown started and remember thinking this ainβt so bad haha.
Go figure, in a relatively short walk having a proper suntan!
The weather sure as heck was different when we were younger. Not just better spring & summers, but also colder & longer winters. Real winters.
When I had to go to kindergarten my mum generally pulled our sled all the way there with both me and my sister on it. Always loads of snow, for weeks on end and temps of around -15 or colder where quite normal. No heating nor double glazing or other insulation so upstairs was freezing cold too.
Once my dad made either a horse or an elephant from snow in our garden. A high one, prolly around 1.65-1.75m. He got me & my sister outdoors to show it, we were thrilled! He put a blanket over it and put us both on top of it. One of my fondest winter memories, haha.
I also remember my birthday party was often held outdoors with lots of water and swimming suits/bikinis. Around 1996 that happened often too. I remember as my daughter's birthday is the day before mine and she had similar birthday parties as well. My birthday being May 13th...
I could be wrong, but I cannot recall any recent years being warm enough that time a year for something like that?
It all got more moderate, which boils down to less warm, less cold, more crap weather & lots of wind, hihi.
