# I miss snow.


I miss being able to put on a huge coat and not cook internally. I miss scarves and gloves and hats and drinking coffee outside on a frosty morning. I miss seeing the birds arrive for winter and freezing my arse off at some God-forsaken nature reserve.
I wouldn't miss it for very long, mind, but just to actually feel cold again.

(I made this to keep my kids entertained...)

2)Stand in the fridge
3)Realise that being warm is nicer

# What's a bottle shop, gronk?
Is it the Aussie equivalent of an offie?

# Tell me what an offie is and I'll let you know.
A bottle shop is a place to buy alcohol.

# Ker-ching!
Yep, we're singing off the same hymn sheet.
"Offie" is short for "off-licence", ie premises that have a licence to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises.
These days we're so sophisticated, we also do tinnies. Actually, it's mostly tinnies. Well, it is for me, anyway.

# "bottle shop", "offie"
In the U.S., round my parts at least, it's just a "liquor store".
How boring.
(I helped save b3ta! Shiksa, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 4:08, archived)
# I dunno
I've always thought "liquor" sounds quite sophisticated. Compared to, say, "booze", or "haha me and my mates are going to get shit-faced!"

# A couple of days of over 35 over this way.
& I haven't cleaned the pool yet - sometimes the bottle-o fridge is nicer.

# I find that to be most refreshing.
And dread going out again. It's just the three or four months o ver the summer that were very hard last year. Seems cooler this year, though.

# The very best thing about snow
is being indoors and watching everyone outside, in the knowledge you have the day off.
