The phone interview I was scheduled to have with a company in the UK tomorrow morning has been cancelled because the parent company has apparently gotten the memo about hot economic doom. I was really looking forward to speaking with these people.
The old proverb says that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, but in Canada we also have the grand tradition of conditions after April Fool’s Day being anyone’s guess; and this year like so many others, it started snowing again this morning. I walked three quarters of a kilometer to get some McDonald’s and get away from the two cats that have been going bonkers all day because they couldn’t go outside.
The sky has looked different in all areas of North America that I have lived in. Canada’s is constantly changing; Boston’s was as well, but it was less vibrant in its extremes, probably a consequence of being on the ocean. Texas was an almost constant bright blue, and overcast conditions never seemed to be quite there in the colour of grey. I have spent the past year trying to send myself to see the sky in any part of Europe, and today is just another setback on a wide open field.
Tonight I am looking out the window at something I had forgotten. There is no describing the violet grey of the night sky, or the pervading hush as snow is falling.
