    Exactly how I felt this morning walking to work. I hate being cold. This time of year I’d happily stay home until spring. 
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • Ditto on the hibernation. And we got lots of snow all at once but nothing since (still very white everywhere that hasn't been trodden on, like my garden).
