Hello, my name is Shana, and I am a Sun Addict

The cold weather in London is killing me. There was snow (again) this morning. I went back to sleep and thankfully the snow on the sidewalks was melted by the time I woke back up.

I leave for Edinburgh tomorrow. I want to also go to Glasgow, but there is a problem with finding accomodation for all the nights I want to stay there. Specifically, all the cheap beds I've seen listed online are taken for next Friday night. £25 is just too expensive for my budget (esp as it is my targeted daily allowance...). So, I might just toss or give away the £5 train ticket from Edinburgh to Glasgow if I can't find a room, and head back south. Very south.

And if Edinburgh is any colder than it is here in London, I may very well just check the temperature in Greece, southern Spain or southern Italy, then find a cheap plane ticket there and wait for Northern Europe to warm up.

Currently, I'm wearing: black skirt and tights; tank top; thin, long-sleeved t-shirt; cardigan; sweater; scarf; jean jacket. I'm sitting in an i-cafe, and I'm just about warm enough.

As a short side story: I once shared a cubicle with a woman at Amazon, who grew up on Maui. I always preferred an ambient temperature of about 70. She, about 80. She would turn on her heater, and I wouldn't realize it until I was starting to fall asleep at my computer (excessive heat makes me very sleepy when I'm not moving around). Now, I feel like her and just want to runrunrun from the cold weather. I don't think this weather would normally bother me this much, but my heart is still back in Argentina, basking under the hot, summer Argentinian sun.

My tan is fading, and that is a crime.
