East Hartford - Fri 13th April.
God, it's cold here. 40 degrees F (not C) and a bitter wind. Yesterday we had sleet and snow, and more is forcast for Sunday. Today is bright and sunny, but still cold. Apparently it's the coldest April for a very long time (in contrast to January which was the warmest January on record).
As well as being cold, it's still quite dreary and drab. The trees still haven't got any leaves and most of the ground seems to a dull browny colour. I know from experience that in the summer, it's a pleasant place. In the autumn, when the leaves change colour, it's a positively beautiful place. But now, in late spring, it's just drab. I drove over the Connnecticut River this morning, and even that was a muddy brown colour.
Despite this, my spirits are undampend. I just love being here. Driving to work this morning, I felt as if I could have just kept on going. The traffic in this part of the world is light, the car (a Ford) just cruises along effortlessly and with a free coffee from the hotel and some good music on the radio, everything was pretty cool. Of course, tomorrow is the weekend and I WILL keep going (to Boston, maybe) but today it was work.
Stangely enough, I think other people must have felt the same as me; the office is pretty much deserted. I have some training this afternoon, but hopefully it will be a quick getaway after...
