It's very close to dark right now.
I know that because I'm sat on the floor facing the window with the soles of my feet pressed against the radiator because it's ever so cold, and I haven't shut the curtains yet. I can just see the trees and the reflections of the light and then mum's face, in the darkness, appears. She's pulling faces or maybe she's really cold in a dark fleece and it's the first time I've seen her in a woollen hat since the early mornings at the start of this year. Her neck is drawn up and I know that my lips are blue, at least.

When did winter creep up on us?
