Seriously, only last week you could go outside in just a cardigan – now it’s coats, hats, gloves, scarves and warm shoes, the whole shebang. Having gone grocery shopping during my lunch break I couldn’t face walking home through the cold. Mostly because the office is just the wrong side of room temperature, which sucks if you’re sitting still all day.

Anyways, I took the bus. And was prompty reminded why walking is a better option – this particular busline is always full during rush hour, and there are always at least a handful of people with… hygiene problems. Yes, let’s put it that way. It was only three stops, yet I was so very grateful to be back out in the cold.

Now I’m on my couch, drinking chai (trying out the Migros brand, which is quite nice – and obviously cheaper than Starbucks) and watching Top Chef. In 20 minutes or so I’ll head out to meet a friend for drinks with hopefully nice views of Zurich at night – and I’m adding a couple more layers of clothing, just for good measure. 🙂
