Socks on

Every morning last week I debated with myself if it was time to start wearing socks and heavier shoes. Open toe or slip-in won every day, but not today. A second day of pouring rain, wind and only 14 degrees forced me into putting on socks and more suitable shoes. I have to admit that my feet felt very warm and cosy, but giving up summer shoes was a big defeat on my part. From hereon it will only get colder, darker and wetter. Could someone please remind me why I live all the way up here in the North? Right now I can’t come up with one single reason.
