Let's dare it with memories of our own childhood and a little honesty with ourselves: Who is currently sweating on city and lake terraces and rejoicing in the beautiful springtime prank of Dorit and Doris? They are early harbingers. Wrapped up in down jackets, ski socks and hats, it might still work on the ski slopes, but here on the south side? Do you remember the warning voice: "You'll catch a cold! You'll see, tomorrow you'll cough even more." As if we didn't know when the cold was too much for us in the sandpit and on the bike. By the way, even then the scratchy throat came from the hazelnut bushes.
All around us, people are begging for open-toed shoes, tank tops and shorts, but we want them too! So let's take heart - for our children, for us, and join in: Draw heaven and hell on the street, off to the sandpit, although shoes are recommended here;-) the sand is too cold in February. The badminton, yoyo and pétanque out, snow shovel in, cervelats on the grill and sun cream on the skin. Their expiry date from summer 2018 is still current, by the way. And you know what, winter is sure to come back. But the dear children, guided by their hearts, know themselves when it's too cold for them. They just have to want to admit it, because we left them in the spring game before. Dorit and Doris just put on a little foretaste, with a light dudune over it.
