Today is just the 5^th day of winter in Australia but can say that I officially hate winter now. I know most of my readers are from the other side of the world so enjoy your summer guys . But I have to vent out my frustration here.

 

I know that I probably couldn’t enjoy summer if we didn’t have winter but I have some good reasons why I hate winter. Winter is empty, bleak, cold, evil, mean, cruel and most of all annoying. I am open to most things and I like to see the bright side of life. But winter is not definitely on my list.

Here are my reasons why I hate winter:

1.  I have flu right now and I know it is going to last all winter long. I hate the cough that comes with it. My nose is running too. (I have flu shot every year but still seem to get the flu.)
2.   Waking up in winter is a 100 times harder than waking up in summer.
3. I stay in my warm bed till late and have to rush to work.
4. It is so cold in the morning and so dark when I leave home for work and then it is dark again when I come back home. I hardly get to see any sun light.
5. Driving with fogged up windows is just awful.
6. I hate to exercise in this cold weather and have been skipping workout for the last few days 😦
7. My body automatically packs on insulation (fat) in an attempt to survive the winter.
8. It is so cold when outside that the many layers I put on don’t seem to do anything.
9. My nice dresses are being neglected because I need to wear warm jackets and sweaters.
10. Winter automatically cuts my shoes wardrobe in 1/2. I can’t wear shoes that expose any skin, so my boots and some close shoes are the only ones I can wear.
11. My washing takes longer to dry as I hate to use a dryer.
12. My whole body is so dry that I need to moisturise all the time. No matter how much I try to moisturise, I am feeling flaky by midday. Sometimes, I think I just need to bathe in a tub of Vaseline.
13. I hate rain in winter, not cool at all.
14. All of you know that I love colour but in winter, I can’t see any colour except grey and black coats and jackets. Thank god I bought a red and a fuchsia long coat from Nepal while I was there the last time.
15. Nature seems so lifeless during the long winter months, bare trees and brown grasses.

 I normally try to go for a holiday during winter but this year it seems like I am stuck in Australia for the whole winter. So winter, winter please go away.

Are you a summer or a winter person?  Please share you reasons.
