Not a Life for Puddings

Outside, the weather is transitioning faster than I can walk from room to room, from rain to hail to snow to stillness, to... wait.. I think the sun might be making a brief appearance!!

The children playing at the school near my bus stop don't even seem to notice. The climbers keep climbing, swingers keep swinging, the boys playing among the trees and weeds at the far side of the playground stay there, the girls sitting in a circle playing clapping games don't miss a beat.

During orientation, one of the speakers warned us that living in Bergen was "not a life for puddings."

These kids aren't going to grow up to be no 'puddings'.

P.S. - Want to talk bad insulation? The coat that I've wedged into the sill to keep the draft out actually has SNOW/hail on it. As in, with the wind here, it came in through the gap.
