First of February

Well, in case you haven't noticed, it is the first of February already. It has been a very grey and dreary beginning here, which is fitting, because the month is grey and dreary. I don't like February much because of this. It really has very little special days, except Candlemas (which I often misspell Candlemass, will need to correct this) and of course Valentine's Day, which I never liked much (more about it here). But at least, it is a short month, so you don't have to suffer it too much.
