It's officially winter

As of the first of this month, winter has officially begun down here. And since I now live in the frigid central west of New South Wales, it means I'm experiencing winter in all it's snot freezing glory for the second year in a row.

I don't actually mind the cold - I love having real seasons again, love the crispness in the air, the coziness of snuggling up under a blanket on the couch.

That said, I'm still a child of the desert and feel I may need one of these:

It's a personal hand warmer that you store in your pockets. Praise Jeebus, because these hands weren't made to freeze!

I love technology.
