We've passed the shortest day - and they really are short - and the longest night. But, as Susanne kept warning us: as the days begin to lengthen so the cold begins to strengthen. Apparently the coldest weather is yet to come.
We have a brilliant (brand new) boiler in our little terraced house, and indoors stays toastie warm.
This morning I looked outside - lovely sunshine! What a pretty day. We headed down the pavement to our car, and we noticed that some cars were coated with thick ice. And some weren't.
We were chuckling about that, until we got to ours ... thick rime of ice all over. Very pretty of course. The front windscreen squirter did the job on the front windscreen, but Peter had to use his fingernails on the back window (poor dear, I helped him to warm up his hands after).
Guess we had better invest in a can of that "de-icer" stuff that other people have.
Still waiting for some proper snow, though. Stephanie tells us they've had snow in Istanbul - not like last year. We had some snow here the other day. Just teeny tiny little white balls floating down, only a few. Not like flakes, like minuscule bits of polystyrene. Gone after a few minutes.
