Winter!

You understand that you lived in Dubai long enough when you start saying “it’s winter, brrr!” only on the first cloudy day you get after a year! And you start freezing when it’s only 22C outside.

Yes, that’s me. I am feeling so cold; missing wearing my cashmere, my trench coat and my ankle length boots and it is really hard to get myself off the bed, like any usual winter in Istanbul although sun is already up and shining in my bedroom! I can’t blame the sun about my morning tiredness since it’s not even dark outside!

I wonder, is our body coded for winter months so that it does not matter whether it is sunny or not that we feel like winter lazy during December, January and February?
