True, that! At least the heat and hot water are back in operation here … yesterday was truly BBRRRR in here … π Now it is raining ice pellets outside but I am as snug as a bug in a rug. π

It’s good to be warm when the weather’s not. No snow here… just more and more rain. Though I think it’s gonna be dry today. Instead we have sub-zero temperatures. The curtains might stay closed if that cold is caused by the wind.

Cold rain now after freezing rain earlier and with some snow expected tomorrow. Hovering around zero Celsius. Nice and cozy indoors, though. I am grateful!

I think it might be worse when the sun shines. Cos that means no cloud cover, and what warmth there was has now slipped away. I kid you not, my fingers as I tap these keys are close to numb. My umpteenth coffee, just to wrap my hands around the mug. But spring with come, and again the summer. Then I’ll complain I’m too hot!

I hear you …. Woke up to no heat or hot water again this morning but then somehow the fairies turned it back on and now it is cozy here as I get ready to leave into the freezing rain and general brrrr … π Where’d summer go? π

Oh wow. I feel for you. At least I have basic heating. My problem more relates to the age of the house… I think the walls are shrinking with age, leaving leaky gaps around the windows (never noticed in summer, of course). and the largest of the windows, facing into the fierce east wind, is lead glazed.. you know, all those tiny panes. And not a crumble of putty cos it’s all original. Never live in a listed building, forget that it looks nice and you’re a sucker for history.

Ah, yeah, the allure and misfortune of ancient buildings — they are lovely, and they are also a load of mischief (not to mention ghosts … who rather like whistling through the gaps in the windows and under the doors and in any space that one did not know existed … π ). By now the heat and hot water have been restored – just this past hour, really – and hopefully will remain operational (twice before they tried to get it going and it went out again, so perhaps the third time’s the charm!)

Yep. The building’s heat and hot water … It seems to be having a bit of a struggle these past few days … hopefully fixed today (though still a bit clunky and a little chilly).

Thank you, Terri! Isn’t that leaf fabtabulous? As for “winter’s fee” … we all pay the piper for taking away summer’s swelter, don’t we?
