Hungry freezer?I strolled to the station and the shops earlier. There was a lot of snow on the backstreets, except for the ones that are on bus routes - they get gritted and are clear. Fortunately, it was a couple of degrees above freezing so the snow and ice were slightly slushy and offered some grip. I don't have any of those crampon things to put on my boots. If we had colder winters I would adapt, but when we just get occasional wintry spells I never get round to it. No studded tyres on my bikes, for example.
My (soon to be lockdown bubble #37?) pal is here and we will be making a mega veggie curry together soon. A portion each for us tonight, and 4 for the freezer.
She is currently watching Richard Osman's House of Games on TV, wearing headphones so as not to distract me. That strategy would work if she didn't keep on shouting out the answers that she knows!
I just checked my bank balance and that £30 payment that I claimed recently from the council has already been paid in. That's my Lidl and Aldi bills covered for next week!![]()
Well, freezer compartment in my fridge. The 4 tubs of curry take up 2/3 of the space, but that leaves enough for a couple of small items.Hungry freezer?
It's not even 23:00 yet!Think you're all curled up in bed, just so you can be first in the morning.
Can't be the cold, it's not that bad.
They get up too soon/early, leaving them worn out come late evening.It's not even 23:00 yet!
I think things have definitely warmed up. I'd had to turn the boiler up for a day to get the temperature in this room up from about 14 degrees to 16 or 17 and then again when the old really kicked in. I just started to overheat and checked the thermometer - it was 20.8 in here! The heating has now been turned down to let the temperature drop to a more comfortable 18-19 degrees.
I can see the appeal in the summer, but NOT at this time of year!They get up too soon/early, leaving them worn out come late evening.
It was white everywhere here when I woke up on Sunday, and today (Monday), but the forecast is for light rain overnight and temperatures of about 8 degrees, so I reckon most of the snow and ice might have gone by lunchtime Tuesday.There's sleet falling at present, you might wake up to a white outside view.
