at 4pm yesterday it was minus 8 degrees outside in our drive! I am not sure what it was this morning at 730am when LSH and I walked to bus stop but I reckon it was colder still. I wished I had put thermals on - my legs were so so cold.
Mind you, once I had climbed the hill to the bus stop (and forgive me if I have made it sound like Mount Everest, it isn't it's a very average slope) I was pretty hot. Got on the packed bus and within a few minutes I was roasting so much so I felt sick and had to get off! I was fine and decided it would be good exercise to walk the rest of the way into town. How wrong can a girl be? The pavements were like icerinks and I had on hiking boots not iceskates. I slipped and slithered and held onto railings like a granny (no one dare mention that I am one, ok?). By the time I got to my destination, The Scottish Cafe I was boiling hot and tired. And now, five hours later my thighs ache! That's probably a good thing - the most exercise they have had in over a year.
Goodness me, I do not know how folk get around in the town though. I guess we just have to get on with it now though - looks like the freezing weather is here to stay for a bit longer. Let's see - on the positive side it must be getting rid of a few bugs eh?
what else is positive? errr, its a proper winter so maybe we will be more grateful when spring arrives.
There must be more positive angles to this. A bit more community spirit is coming out? Folk looking out for elderly neighbours perhaps?
I will have to have a longer think about this one......
Meantime It's Good 2 Give is coming on well.
Four events in planning for the first six months of the year - meetings set up with people who want to help me get the charity going, professionals offering services - including an accountant, an artist, a poet
the website went live yesterday - its looking good - a lot more work to be done on it yet but we are getting there!
want to see it?
