It's Beginning to Feel a Bit Like Winter


At long last!!

The temp during the day is a glorious 21c but at night it's been dipping down to about 9c (above zero that is!) which while not really really cold is still cold enough for us to bother stoking up the fireplace. Remember we don't have internal heating - so whatever it is outside it generally is about the same inside.

Seth is very keen on the fireplace - so keen that we have to really keep an eye on him. Thankfully he understands the concept of hot so keeps away from the fireplace when it is on. He loves helping bundle the kindling to get the fire started and then happily sits on his little step to watch as the flames build and dance their own merry dance.

The fireplace really helps to take the coldness out of the air and lends a very cosy atmosphere to our house. We don't use it very much but it is something that we have really enjoyed using - it means that winter really is here - and you've gotta love that.

so fun to start comparing the weather now to how it will be when we're there - 21 sounds good to us...don't think it got that high here today. We went to Barkerville with Griffin's class, and there was snow forecast!
As for the temperature inside - we're going to have to do something abou that when I'm there - or I might freeze to death! May have to pre-order some nice ugh booties or something!

You'll be fine - I'm just wearing some tracky dacks, ugh boots and a long sleeved shirt right now - and we do have some other portable heaters in the house. You'll probably think its bloody hot here!!! You should be able to get some ugh boots a darn sight cheaper here too - maybe a nice pink pair with laces up the sides and pom poms hanging from them - mmm nice!!
