Beast from the East

[sayuri2023]

I feel so disoriented today. I caught my bus to work today at 5 past 7, and suddenly got struck with a weird realization... that I thought I had woken up at 7.

I hate feeling disoriented like this.

First week of March had been terrible. We were struck with blizzards everyhwere in UK. Newspapers called in 'Beast from the East' or 'Siberian Beast. Schools were closed, transportation was off, and Met office assigned a Red Warning to Scotland first time in over a decade. It was fun however, taking pictures and waddling about in the thick snow, and for the first time in seven or eight years I saw snowmen outside my flat. The downside of all is the transportation closure, and for one week all shelves in supermarkets were devoid of milk and bread. And slowly all vegetables shelves were empty too, mostly due to panic buying thanks to newspapers that said 'Don't Panic'.

A few random photos of the snow:

Beautiful pics! I guess our snow clouds moved over there aye? XD Not having food on the shelves is rather hard though. I assume it's better now? Keep warm!

That looks beautiful but cold. Panic buying is the worst. Here it happens before public holidays (I don't know why, but I'd hate to see what Australians would do if faced with a natural disaster of some sort considering how they panic before a one day closure).

Maybe you need to take some melatonin. You might have a bit of SAD. That causes disorientation in winter.

Wow, that's quite a lot of snow you were hit with.

I always wonder what it'd be like to live in a place where there wasn't mass amounts of snow on the ground every winter. I can't imagine it haha.
