Between Christmas and New Year

[heleninwales]

We're now in that strange limbo period where no one is sure what day it is and you don't know whether shops are open or not. In reality, today counts as a perfectly ordinary Saturday, so shops were open as usual but town was quiet.

It's much colder here today, not quite freezing but not much above either and with a bitter east wind. However, I have ventured out to the Co-op for a few things and popped into the hardware store for rubber gloves. Then I'm staying indoors for the rest of the day where it's warm.

We did pop into town for some fresh air and it was pretty quiet- bitter cold north wind and a hard frost. We were glad to get back for tea and biscuits.

There were only a few tiny patches of frost in the shaded part of our back garden. The temperature must have stayed just above freezing, though with the icy wind, the wind chill factor made it feel much colder.

It makes me feel so forgetful to not remember what day it is, so thank you for saying. ;-)

Yes, stay cozy!

I keep having to look at the calendar to check the day because they're all merging into one at the moment.

My husband had to work yesterday, as he was out of vacation days, but I can't imagine he got much done, ha.

It's cool here, but doesn't feel especially cold. But I agree with you about these dog days. I'm getting to the gym and doing the housework the day throws up, and that's about it.
