I'm Sooooooo Coooooold!!!!!!!!

I keep looking in on Symi every day. Can't believe it's 18 degrees there today. Houses either side of me have frozen pipes and no water. Recorded temperatures of minus 6 all day yesterday. Have stopped my pipes freezing by blasting the house with heating day and night and expecting a massive bill at the end of it all. To think 2 months ago I was stretched out on Nos beach. Arrrrgh.

Happy New Year here from Denmark.
Yes it�s cold outside. This morning it was -10 and a bit of wind,
started at 6 a.m. wating for train...took ages (well only 15 minutes late, just a blink of the eye!!!)
At this moment it�s still -9,8, am I glad my husband gave me a new wintercoat. Getting of in the morning same time...keep my hat on.
well Symi is in our dreams and in reality, when it�s September again.
Take care.

It's minus something here and our road's still not been gritted so dug out hill walking kit - stick, boots etc. - and we may look a bit odd for city dwellers buy don't care as can now get around and not worry about slipping all over the place! Dreaming about Symi beaches helps keep me sane....just! :?:

I keep looking in on Symi every day. Can't believe it's 18 degrees there today. [/quote]According to the news today "Parts of south east Europe are experiencing unusually warm weather".

That made me feel SO much better as I trudged through the snow again to the local shop for emergency supplies (four packets of cat food, two bottles of beer and a bottle of wine).

Even though the temperature almost reached the dizzy heights of zero degrees today for the first time in three weeks, this is the state of our local reservoir.

No need for ice in the ouzo!

Wesham now has a skating rink! It's called Derby Road and it stretches all the way from my house to the main road. There are other skating rinks in Preston - they are called pavements...

Good excuse for an early night and a cuddle

Sounds like you guys are experiencing a lengthy cold winter,i hope it starts getting warmer soon,we are having a bit of a heat wave here high 30s to low 40s for next couple of days.

Allan any fish in the reservoir?

by **Allan** » 09 Jan 2010, 14:47

Thanks for reminding us Kon!

But in five months time when you are cold and wet I'll be basking under a Symi sun. I'm SO looking forward to telling you all about it. :twisted:

And no, there aren't fish in the reservoir.

[/quote]Could be. Chuck in a packet of crisps and it covers all the essential food groups!

Actually went to a friends on skiis yesterday! Good fun going downhill but a bit of a b***** carting them back up home with me!

by **Kojak** » 11 Jan 2010, 23:33

They don't have ski lifts? Shocking at the lack of basic facilities these days!

Happy St Davids day to all Welsh posters! 1st March has come in quiet here, no wind, sunny but still cold and I see clouds lurking to the west. :cry:

by **snoopy2** » 01 Mar 2010, 15:12

n.e. Scotland positively balmy today - 4oC but wind chill that would skin you. Sunny,blue skies not a cloud in sight and the thoughts are - ah some gardening and tidying until you step outside and freeze to the doorstep. Kojak - looks as if you are right about another blast and again we are faced with white-outs for Wednesday. My poor chickens have stopped laying eggs and spend all day hopping from one foot to the other or cower under the egg box. Truly now getting wearying!! Tip for keeping warm:- heat a double measure of Whiskey in a glass placed in really hot water. Heat the whiskey then disolve a spoon of honey in it and put in about half water to whiskey. After two of these you don't feel anything - magic!!

Sounds good, except with the medication I'm taking I probably wouldn't wake up!

by **Oor Willie** » 01 Mar 2010, 20:36

In case you are in need of a realy quick warmer you can omit the following items ; glass,hot water, honey

by **snoopy2** » 01 Mar 2010, 21:17

Just make sure it is a GOOD single malt!!!!!

by **Oor Willie** » 05 Mar 2010, 18:05

by **snoopy2** » 05 Mar 2010, 18:46

A cask strength Aberlour!!!!!!!! You lucky, lucky toad!!! Need one or two of those up here in the n.e. tonight. Been sunny and bright for the past few days but boy does the wind take two layers of skin off you - no reply needed - take my word it does. You have put me in the mood for a wee Laphroig as it is Friday night. Yee ha
