Bit frosty here this morning, not the sort of day for going out bare foot in your pyjamas to take the recycling bins out.
So that's exactly what I did.

It has been bloody cold this week! Had to go up to bar 4 on the livingroom gas fire last night. Usually 1 does the job.

Not pleased with the sudden drop in temperature. The electric blanket has been pressed into service after long months of inaction. After a pretty mild winter last year I suspect this one's going to make up for lost time.

It has been a bit nippy hasn't it - I've actually had the heating on this week (first time since the beginning of the year) and have dusted off my hot water bottle as well. Mind you - it isn't really cold enough to qualify as Time Wars weather yet. I would have thought we would only have reached that point when the temperature drops enough that metal is snapping...

It was so cold this evening that on the way home I had to grab an emergency bag of piping hot chips. Lovely.

The low winter sun is a prime cause of RTCs this time of year. People also don't see blue lights either. Nightmere. Do you remember there was a, I think, BBC drama last year or sumat called Low Winter Sun? I drove Mrs Shockprowl mad by saying, every time there was indeed a low winter sun, "Low Winter Sun" in the same deep voice that the anouncer chap says it in. Meh, made me chuckle...

Cold on my bicycle tonight. Scarf for me next week. Thermal leggings are a godsend.
I'll prepare a 'Dry, cracked lips' thread.
However it's my favorite time of year for cycling. As I've mentioneed before, the skys are clear and cold and the moon is big and bright. The countryside is cold and still.

Real Red Dwarf weather in Swindon today. Went outside to tidy up some broken glass in the street - I thought it's my buggy tires gonna pop on that - and wished I hadn't.

Bit chilly tonight, but standard chill factor rather than the 'dear God I am going to turn into a statue of ice' type weather of last night.

And the rain came down once more.
Last Saturday I had to go shopping and got pelted with hail. It hurt.
Last Sunday I was committed to read at a particular Mass, which meant getting soaked to the skin on the way. I shlop-shlopped my way to the pulpit. My shoes took about 5-6 days to dry out.
This weekend I have no appointments, and my house is well stocked with provisions.
Let it rain! I love looking out at bad weather from the warm indoors.

It's been odd weather here on Planet Falkirk. It has been snowing - but only for about ten minutes at a time, but it has been repeating that at about fifteen minute intervals most of the day. Sadly none of the snow has actually got around to lying as yet - its been melting pretty much as fast as it fell. It did look very pretty out of the living room window this afternoon and when I went into town this morning it didn't feel as cold as I had been expecting. In fact it felt a lot warmer than it had done at the weekend.
I hear from my family that the Northeast of England has been hit a lot harder than my area though - apparently it has even closed major roads down there. No danger of that here.

I only saw about 5 minutes of snow today. It has been blooming cold though. I was trying to watch some DVD's this evening but had to give up - it was just too chilly in the living room. I have had to retreat to the bedroom, which is on the warmer side of the flat.

Cold here. And it rained while Jonathan and I were having our weekly trip to ASDA at 8am this morning (it's complicated - Saturday's is the only day ASDA is open early that I can use my bus pass) - so we had to errect the space bubble round the push chair as we came out.

It sounds stormy outside on this cold dark January night. The wind is howling, the rain is lashing down.
Great!

We seem to be in somewhat of a sheltered position here on Planet Falkirk. Although the cosmic storms rage over other parts of Scotland and the north of England it is relatively peaceful here. There is a little bit of wind but not much more than a stiff breeze, and there is no sign of any rain so far.
We shall see what the rest of the night brings.
