...my annual Winter Misery... ....

I woke up this morning to a observe my World enveloped in an icy cold Winter Hoar Frost!



The first day of my long Winter days and nights, with all my curtains closed to conserve warmth, and all my electric lights on to lighten the internal gloom.
The temperature in my bedroom last night dipped below freezing a couple of times, causing my portable fan heater frost protection setting to switch on, to raise the temperature slightly!

I have decided, for the first time, to ignore the massive electric heating bills, and keep my portable, oil filled electric radiator maintaining a temperature of 18*C

Look at the bright side.
You dont need to fix the garden

... ... ... ...!

My trees and shrubs in my front and back gardens desperately require "coppicing"....

.... but its too bloody cold to go outside!.... ...!

This is the time of the year, when the leaves have all fallen off, is the best time to do it, with the minimum of foliage to get rid of...
...but its much too bloody cold to venture outside for me!

Paul...."leaving" it for a while, 'till it gets warmer..... ...!

Paul,

We've been in the cold for a week or two now... lows between 12 and 25 degrees F, although it's been getting into the 40's
for the highs. It'll get worse for us... traditionally in January we get a couple weeks where the temps drop below 0 F and it's
quite frigid. The cold weather coincides with the running of the National Western Stock Show, a Denver tradition for over a century. I guess the cows like the cold! :p

Hello Alan... ...

As frequent Sim Flyer around the SW and Mid-West USA, I always imagine that the temperatures would mostly be high, due to the desert regions of So-California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado, etc.

Got to my pub at 1400 hrs, just got home at 2130. You had one hell of a good time.

God I love being retired

Sometimes happens when one retires...

..the important bits in the top (front) which control the overall workings, go missing...

(Engine in the rear?....Politicians!)... ;)...!

.... ;D... ;D...!

The best medicine for the present cold weather; including coughs, colds, influenza, runny noses, etc...

...is a knife and forkful of this, dispensed on a hot plate...>>>
