Last day of winter, huzzah! Even though the weather was bleedin' awful today, I am super excited about the fact that when I wake up tomorrow it will OFFICIALLY be SPRING and winter no more!!!!!
Before this momentous seasonal change occurs however, I feel the need to mark the occasion and take a moment to reflect on the experiences this winter has brought me. As such, I thought it would be pertinent to make a list of the most significant things I have learnt over this period, for my own contemplation and for the edification of others. A succinct seasonal summation, if you will. Ahem.
What Mademoiselle Coccinelle has learnt o'er the Winter:
- An early night once in a while does wonders for your mental health.
- French onion soup is surprisingly delicious, even if you don't like onions.
- Fruit is my friend. Who'd've thunk it.
- It's possible that Christchurch isn't the boring, conservative and slightly dodgy place I used to think it was. And it has donuts.
- Re-stringing a mandolin is astonishingly bad for your nails.
- One day I'm just going to have to accept that being organised is a state of existence that I am incapable of attaining.
- Cheese in a can is fun to write on walls with. Consuming it, however, is unthinkable.
- I have mad skillz for making mulled wine.
- Elephants would make fantastic house pets. If they could, ya know, fit inside a house.
- I am chronically late. Once upon a time I was a very punctual person. Now I am one of those annoying people who always turns up at least 10 minutes late to everything. Je suis the Late Mademoiselle Coccinelle.
- Everything can improved with the addition of lime juice (except for paper cuts).
- Getting rid of clutter is a source of never-ending joy to me. Oh how I love to purge!
- Eating at Fisherman's Table is something one does at one's own risk.
- Good TV is essential for making it through the darkest, coldest, wettest months.
And thus I bid goodbye to Winter! Adieu!!!
