We are having a very cold time here in the South Island. Those of you who live in colder climes may wonder what the fuss is about, but it is unusual for us to get down to -20C in New Zealand. Not so bad in Christchurch which is at sea level so a bit warmer, but it's still cold enough to have heating going hard all day. I have been doing a bit of gardening, it's not so bad if I wear lots of layers and keep moving. I'm hoping to put the garlic and shallots in today and sort out some of my kitchen and linen cupboards, and start crocheting some leg warmers.
And call down a blessing on the person who invented thermal underwear!
Brrrrrrr! Stay warm! By contrast, we are having a mild and dry few days.
ReplyDeleteOooh. What a pristine and beautiful scene. Like librarygirl we are having a mild patch. And I don't think anywhere here (except possibly the Snowy Mountains) gets that cold.
