It was sweltering hot yesterday, but not today, no. Today it is so cold my nose feels like it’s about to fall off. As I walked through the streets earlier on this morning almost every group of people I passed were discussing how quickly the weather changed. It was unexpected - in the middle of summer, a hot, sticky day like yesterday was not out of the ordinary, but a day like today, where you could see your breath in little puffs, where the sky is darkest grey, where people are lingering in shops simply for the warmth they hold, is very strange. As I stand in the hat shop I find myself wondering if this frigid weather signifies anything. For yesterday, it was so hot, and the weather report claimed that it would be so for the rest of the week, and the town was organizing a carnival. “Perfect weather for it,” people would say. There had to be a reason for this, I decided.
