This is also very true for me.

Hey, it's been a long time since I last wrote here.
Good evening! How's everyone? Me, I'm fine, but it rains and it's cold here.

As for the weather, I have to scrape ice off my car every day, but it still doesn't snow!

It looks like it doesn't snow anymore in Paris in winter, that's too bad. But, to be honest, it never really snowed much that much. I envy those who live in continental climates.

It never snows here before January.

In the Netherlands there's no guarantee for snow at all. But some winters have had a lot of snow, especially around ten years ago.

Today it's very rainy here.

Really, I'm already looking forward to the end of winter.

Today I went Christmas shopping. I don't know yet what I'll do tomorrow.

Seems that I switch between buying gifts really early and really late each year

Est' anno, stette piu razionavei: de sulitu, ceccompro la vejja. Me vero devia que ceccoito a Novembre.
I was more sensible this year. Usually, I buy them the day before. But I should really take care of it in November.

I know of someone that has all shopping done before August.

Balyushi Xristmesa lago tka Oktobra dojupshat, amxshi phago muqrim tka dzo. Bqa Xristmesa es mgqeli, chushxi - qakroshe rjeba chalyare dgam.
I buy half my Christmas presents before October and the other half five days before. But I don't like Christmas shopping, so I've decided to learn to crochet in a hell of a hurry.

That's a good idea. Will you take orders too? I'd like to have a new scarf.

It went well, but on the way out I smacked into a glass screen.

__________
My English translations tend to be longer than the originals when I write in Poswa first, Ive noticed .... and especially so when I pick Poswa words with almost as many morphemes as phonemes, as bebažovi "I watched something go underneath me" which breaks down as beba-a-ž-o-s-v-i run.under-TR-PASS-1P-GEN-see-1P.past. ("see" can be analyzed as an evidential, but I just consider it a compound verb since it can also occur with 2nd person.)

The semantic shift that led me to use "roll" for "go to an appointment" is from rolling being a type of travel that has a definite endpoint, since balls roll until they reach the lowest point. I intend the word to be used mostly for hunting meetups in Poswob culture.
