Wow, this mist is amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you have a jacket??<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you have a warm jacket??<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OMG A LEECH<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wood fires and mulled wine, so cosy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How is that kid just wearing a t-shirt?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh good, it\u2019s raining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, I can drive you to school\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you tell me if these pants are leech proof?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aeroplane days!! I love it when we are above the clouds looking down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you bring up some wood?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No I need big bits! Not those little ones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You need more clothes on. It\u2019s warm in here because the heater is on, but it\u2019s freezing outside!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wait, you mean the trees can just fall over? Wherever they want? Is that even legal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh good, it\u2019s raining again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not really raining, it\u2019s just Kallista mist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Someone stole the suburbs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sick to death of this f***ing mist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The climate in Afghanistan looks lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SNOW<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m tired of snow already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No the huntsman in our letterbox owns our mail now. We’ll just rely on emails, no problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I seriously can\u2019t feel my toes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh good. It\u2019s (sigh) raining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This wine is too mulled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I haven\u2019t done it yet. I\u2019m waiting for it to stop raining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
