Nearly spring

Spring officially starts on March 21st. But when you look outside right now, you'd think it already arrived. The sun is shining, the temperature is a mild 15° Celsius and is going to rise when the day proceeds. It's been like that since last week Wednesday.

So we're getting ready for spring and Easter. The supermarkets and bakeries are all selling chocolate easter eggs galore. I love chocolate! We've been having those little eggs with our coffee for quite some time now. Full eggs, dark chocolote, white chololate, milk chocolate,.... some filled with liquor and others with various fillings like praliné or nougat, just you think of it. Mmmmm....

The only thing I find difficult is how to dress in this season. It's too warm for real winter gear, but on the other hand not yet warm enough for the summer stuff. So I decide on jeans in a lighter color (grey or pale blue) and sneakers on my feet, a cotton long-sleeved t-shirt and a lighter jacket to go outside. But when you're walking around, you notice people in shorts (really, saw one wearing them yesterday when we went shopping) and others in a fur coat. 

Hopefully it get some warmer yet and then we can put our winter clothing in the back of the dresser. I love the sunshine and high temperatures.

Although, I must admit I have something with the cold as well - as long as it is a dry cold, with freezing and sunshine. It's been only a week since we were in Tromso (Norway) and we liked it so much we're already thinking of going back to the high north next winter.  Considering places on Spitzbergen and Finland (Lapland). Slowly getting the planning for 2023 in order.
