It’s incredible how behaviour is determined by the amount of sunlight you get.
In winter, I’m The Procrastinator. If i had any graphical skills, I could invent a costume for The Procrastinator sub-hero: it would involve ball and chain on both feet, lots of shades of gray, and droopy shoulders.
Then, as soon as spring arrives (or erupts), I come out of hibernation. That to-do list that whines away at the back of my conscience melts like snow before the sun (literally). From getting that new toothbrush (check) to getting that roof fixed (next week).
Maybe I should move. I drink way too little to apply the nordic strategy, which is boozing the winter over (btw try a few winters in Glasgow – same latitude as Stockholm – and you’ll know what suicidal means).
And if we don’t invent a better way to store or generate energy by the time we run out of fossil fuels, I know where I want to be, and it’s not here.
So what’s wrong with the Nordic strategy.
But I agree with you about “being more active” with more daylight.
Daylight is fine, but once it gets too hot I’m trading Belgium for something colder!
Amen.
This is a plan: either move to a city in any of the Tropics (thinking of Miami right now) or enjoying the summer somwehere in the northern hemisphere, and then moving in winter to, let’s say, Brazil or South Africa. It’s a matter of survival, right?
@Bram: global warming means warmer on average, but not everywhere ! Some projections predict colder for Europe, because the Gulf Stream would move away.
@zeta: yes, could be a plan – then again, flying from hemisphere to hemisphere requires lots of transportation – may not be sustainable
I ve received this today… they just forgot to mention that you still have to work in a office(I guess)
