Musings in winter

While it is un-ladylike to disclose your age it must be ageing that causes my winter coat to be not as long as it used to be. It is still thick and fluffy and I look 'fat' in it but it is just not as long and the underlying white is showing through. I really need my coat to be thick these days because I am feeling the cold and SS is spending longer time at uni rather than in her backyard study shed where I can snuggle in and curl up at the corner of the sofa bed. We used to have such cosy, long winter nights in that little shed while she worked and I perused and prostrated over her books and articles and walked all over her laptop keyboard. Ahhh, those were the nights......
