Paid premium for what?

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was pissed off right from then on. It was so windy and raining and the whole apartment was cold. Every morning i wake up hoping its a nice sunny day so i can have coffee on my balcony, but even nature is against me. In Chennai, where i was earlier, i had a huge balcony and it was a pleasure sitting there with our morning coffee and discussing stuff. I used to be late to work most of the days, but we still did so whatsoever. Moved to Nottingham and the whole apartment was the size of two of our bedrooms put together, leave alone a blacony. It was suffocating and we went from discussing stuff over coffee to checking mails and the like on our independent laptops. No words exchanged! 
So when we were hunting for apartments in London, we decided to take one with a balcony so we could go back to coffee and conversation. I promised my significant other that i would serve brunch on the balcony and wine and cheese under starlit skies. Did move into one with a balcony and an amazing view, but i havent step foot onto it because its just so cold and windy. An option would be to head out in our thermals, gloves and boots and have coffee which would get cold in a jiffy. Whats the point of a lazy morning when you have to do all this? So now we have gone back to sitting at two ends of the room with our laptops convincing ourselves that summer would be better and its ok that we paid premium for a room with a view.
