The good:
- It is beautiful
- It is fun to play in
- It saves you money on shopping trips and petrol
- You can catch up on jobs in the house or plan ahead with work
- It is lovely and warm inside
- You can see people helping each other more than they normally might
The bad:
- It isn’t so beautiful when it starts melting
- If you don’t like getting cold and wet (like me!) it is no fun to play in
- It might cost you more in bus fares and takeaways
- You may get behind with work if you need to be somewhere you can’t get to or have little ones to entertain
- The house gets messier with more people in and out of it
- You might end up with no gas or electricity, or your heating could break down…
- There are some people who never help anyone else out even though they could
The ugly:
- You just get sick of it and want life to get back to normal
- If you are vulnerable (eg elderly, ill, homeless), it is even colder and lonelier than normal
- You might (like me) suffer a loss in earnings
- It is dangerous out there: a friend of mine broke his collarbone sledging
- The house is mucky from all the goings in and out
- There is a lot of extra washing
- If you have young children, they may be hard to keep entertained
Please let me know what you would add to this list! I hope things go back to normal for everyone soon! As normal as it ever gets anyway!!
