Orange Sunrise, Summer is upon us

 Since the lockdown Mar 17th, I haven't been out doing the usual thing. The lethargy of reduced activities and working from home due to Coronavirus dampened quite a bit of the usual early summer activities.

This morning I decided to drive out really early to catch the sunrise and avoid bumping into people.

Leap year this year

Now February has past ... with a couple of days of light snow and a full day of sludge yesterday there isn't much happening outdoors. And indoors are mostly dominated by conversations about Covid-19 now that it has made it's way to Europ, Italy to be exact. Norway now has 6 confirmed cases, more expected in the coming days with the return of holiday makers towards the end of the school holiday week.

January has just passed

Thirty one days of the 1st month of 2020 has just passed. And all those days I can't recall having done anything significantly outdoorsy on the acoount of the drizzle, the rain and pretty much gloomy climes. Part of it is winter and part of it is just the crummy hand dealt by weather starting way back in August of 2019.

Weekends have been completely claustrophic and non eventful. The highlight was probably the pumpkin-yoghurt-ricotta cheesecake and date ricotta cheesecake.  The rice apam didn't work out to well.

Typically by this time of year it would've snowed at least a couple of times. I don't mind not having snow and sleet which rare staples here anyway. The rain though has been relentless. The sun rarely comes out except for the few short days. Daily there are just clouds, grey days and occasionally replaced by wet windy day.

February is around the corner, things are looking up hopefully. Maybe more sun will show in the coming days, puffy white clouds instead of grey dull ones, bluesky instead of rain. Or maybe we will be blessed with a few days of sunny chilly weather ... cold dry days.
