Monday - and still November, and so cold.

The thick hose and fleece lined house boots are an odd combination but a cosy one.

Since we had the wall cavities insulated the temperature inside our house has been noticeably more even, and there is an additional benefit of sound insulation. The local council even helped with the cost of it - probably in the hope that it will stop us dying of hypothermia some way down the line, but I hold out the same hope too so didn't mind at all.

The whiteness outside is frost not snow - the sky is that pale blue which seems to indicate that it has frozen over up there and there will be no precipitation of any kind as it is just too cold.

I suspect that setting up a knitting machine and producing some warm jerseys will be a useful pastime between now and Christmas. Whatever the arguments on the climate, the weather is breaking records very regularly this last decade, and although living on a ridge top gives us good views and sunshine we need a good roof and double glazed windows when the wind blows.
