In most sever sub-zero conditions. But I have to admit to being cold now at 10 degrees c. I retired 5 years ago and slowly my tolerance for the cold has left me. Colinneil I can empathise although not stuck in a chair as you are but not to mobile ether these days. But at least it won't last as long as winters of my childhood in Saskatchewan. but What I do appreciate very much is there are seasons here with remarkable temps differences. Scea your really made me laugh with your opening comment thanks for the smile and laugh. Although I am wearing a bit more clothing it still amuses me to a great extent at the arctic parkas I see moving around the village. I lived in Canada for a while ,bloody cold Winnipeg wind chill -30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others are upstairs where they don't have to put up with the dog. I have 2 cats and everytime I sit here they arrive on my lap. They have fur coats for gosh sakes. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted January 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) The Chihuahuas threatened violence unless they were allowed onto the bed this morning. Mr Pom (the great big black hairy monster) was most reluctant to go for his walk this morning. The two cats have been in bed all day. I thought about buying a heater, but realised that the heat would be blocked by a mound of dogs and cats!

Popular Post Damrongsak Posted January 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 I had fun in Loei years back in a wooden house with ill-fitting shutters. Bathroom was outside, under the house. Roofing tin walls and open to the air top and bottom. Hot water, what's that? 555. Here in the U.S., I'm 150km south of D.C. There are rare occasions that it gets down to minus 15 to minus 20 C. Hate it when it stays that low for days on end. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about folk like me, who cannot move, sitting here in my chair freezing my nuts off. Thermal socks, sweater, jacket with hood, and blanket wrapped around me, still perishing with cold. Colin, Colin. Just have your missus sit in your lap. Works for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every cloud has a silver lining, it also means you can't feel the catheter, doesn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually type at my keyboard in my jocks, two layers of clothing at this point and considering a third. Fortunately my 2002 CR-V has a heater!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybole Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 It has been equally cool in Sanpatong. Back in the 1960s my mum bought a musquash jacket, it was very fashionable then but fell out of fashion in the 70s and hung in her wardrobe for the rest of her life. After her death, Iost track of it and assumed that it had gone to the Oxfam shop. Yesetrday it reappeared on my youngest sister-in-law's back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 She who must has a sleeveless sheepskin jacket she bought in Germany back in the day. Still the standout garment in the village when it makes it's yearly appearance. She's also one of those people who still get into jeans they bought as a teenager. Makes me sick.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
