Bye, bye winter

Today, at 17.57h according to the radio, spring starts. “Hurray!”, will think a lot of the Barcelonans. More sun for us, longer days, short sleeves and terraces full of people having their drinks. For many people, it is one of the best stations of the year. Not too warm, but hot enough to be in the street and having fun with the family or friends. 

 

However, is not how I feel.  I have to admit that I enjoy this time of the year where you can be outside, enjoying yourself, having a coke or a beer with whoever you want. I will not discuss this, obviously but I have to say that, for me, it is bad news. I see my clothes, and I think that a lot of the will be in the wardrobe until next year.

I know I am different to most  people, but I really enjoy winter. Winter, for me, is Christmas, New Years Eve, the three kings, family, cold, presents, fun, hope, best wishes... It is also my birthday, my sisters birthday. January is the month I started with Jéssica, and in February we started living together. March is my wife’s birthday. I think I have a lot of things to celebrate in winter. As I wrote once in this blog, it’s the most wonderful time of the year.

I love wearing long sleeve shirts, jumpers and coats. I like putting on my scarves or going out running early in the morning when it is cold. I enjoy walking around the streets and feeling the cold in your face. I enjoy a warm cup of coffee or tea when it is cold outside. I like the darkness in the streets when I get out of work and I go walking to the metro. Winter finishes today and I am willing for it to start again.

Now it is time for sun. In a few months, we will be in the beach. We will be warm, it will be hot in our flat. I understand that people like this time of the year. I do myself, but nothing like winter. It is the best time of the year.
