Noticeably colder than when we went up to the Library about lunchtime. It was quite busy in there, with a couple of groups around tables at the far end of the library. One was a reading group discussing a book they were all reading, the other was the " Knit and Natter " group ( also known as " Bitch and Stitch )
Our Library is a designated " warm space " where you can go to keep warm, there's a wizzy new machine that has been installed. It does tea, coffee, hot chocolate and frothy coffee via a milk frother gubbins. It's operated by the librarians and costs £1 which is a bargain. I was talking to the head librarian and she told me it made very good hot chocolate and coffee. I did ask if they were considering offering accommodation...

:cold::cold::cold: Last Yoga class of the year today, the phone app was showing -1 when I went out and the heating in the hall wasn't making much difference, only 5 of us there today, theres normally around 15 of us. It wasn't much warmer when we went down the Cosy cafe for lunch but now its managed a heady 1 degree.

Been of to the Denver area to drop off stuff for my grandson and dogsit my youngest son and his wife's pooch while they flew to Fargo North Dakota for her grandpa's funeral. With the anticipated delays from Security and traffic we were up ar 4:30 AM for an 11 AM flight. I had planned to stay a bit longer but a major storm was anticipated which would make the roads a bit hairy so it was up ar 5 AM to get the 300 mile drive done before the blizzard hit later that day. The forecast pushed the snow back to 8PM so there was time for a couple of errands and a very short ride on a new P-line Brompton I bought while in Colorado. It was in the 30Fs with a nice little sharp breeze. The snow will end sometime today and the 20+mph winds will commence. There is an Artic front blessing us with daily highs in the lower 20F range for a week or so. Here's a shot of my deck although once the wind arrives a lot of the snow will blow away. I still need to do my 2nd snow shovelling this morning.

-6° is colder than i thought possible , standing in Glasgow airport taxi queue at midnight for an hour after 25° in Agadir was a shock to the system. Heating turned up 😄

A few years ago on holiday in Egypt, in Luxor on the last day with the temperature around 36°c, flew into Luton with the temperature at 3°c, a shock to the system.

According to the local weather stations (via Weather underground) the current temperature out is -3 or -4

DId get out yesterday for brunch as it was SWMBO's son's birthday - then off to a church for his daughter (i.e. our grandaughter) Christmas concert from school

She did well - sang in a quartet and they sounded pretty good
