Getting used to things...

When the first rain falls on the sizzling summer sidewalks, the feeling is of relief, that change is there. Coats get taken out, better yet, they are being bought too soon, ignorant of the fact that more heat is to follow, just because the shop windows tell us "think of winter already!"

How long does this fresh smell of the rain last? Or the curling up on the sofa with hot tea...Pages of sunny beaches get taken out for Christmas and here we are, dreaming of the sizzle again...
