I didn't go for a walk today. To be honest, it was just so cold I couldn't be bothered. It was about 1F/-17C with wind chills colder than that. It just didn't sound appealing. I almost changed my mind when I looked out the back window and saw the sunrise over the trees. I don't get a great view, but the skies over our big trees at the end of the back garden turn a nice colour some mornings.
As it was so cold I did decide to give frozen bubbles a try. I wish I had a clearer view to take photos, but I gave it a go. Not sure how the camera photos turned out.
A phone photo. It's fun to try...and a little frustrating!
I did end up getting quite a bit done. I'm pleased with crossing everything off my list and then some! The book donation pile is coming along nicely. I'm hoping that, by next week, the weather will be a bit better, and I can drive some boxes - yes, boxes - of books down to the library bookshop for donation.
I'm not doing overly great in the craft room BUT I am making sure that each time I go up there I pull out a few things for donation. I feel like it's going to take a while, but every little bit is progress. It's better than not tackling it at all! I do feel like every bit I get rid of, makes me feel as though I can get rid of a bit more. Does that make sense?
Tomorrow, it's still going to be cold in the morning, but we're on a warming trend. Makes me laugh as that still means we're not getting above freezing until Sunday but next week we might hit 41F/5C which is practically a heat wave! There are bound to be people out in shorts. Mind you, we did see a man in shorts at a petrol station on Sunday. He was with a woman and a couple of children (they were well bundled up at least!). Shorts though - brrrr!
Anyway, what I was going to say is that I am going for a walk in the morning. I'll bundle up and just keep on moving. Even if it's not for long I'm going to get out for a walk.
Oh, my. Now that IS cold. I really shouldn't grumble about our 'touching zero (C)', should I? It must be so expensive to stay warm. xx
ReplyDeleteI don't even want to look at the bill. We try to bundle up but it's just been so cold and with the guys not feeling well things haven't gone so well. It is supposed to be above freezing next week - we'll be in a heatwave lol
DeleteThe nearest I've got to going outside recently is the back door step, and it's nowhere near freezing in the South of England.
ReplyDeleteThat frozen bubble is wonderful.
Hope it warms up soon - for all of us. A few years ago, I decided that I had to at least try to brave it or be miserable for several months each winter.
DeleteThat's a lovely photo of the frozen bubble! It looks like a globe of frosted glass!
ReplyDeleteWell done getting everything crossed off your list and all the decluttering you've been doing.
Those temperatures are too cold for me! But, bundle up well if you decide to go for a walk!
They really do look pretty, but frustrating to do. I'm trying to work on the decluttering now so that I can get out when the weather does get better. I bundle up in layers and use handwarmers. Still, some days lately it's been a struggle making myself go out.
DeleteYou are doing amazingly with the decluttering. You're working your way through and not giving up and that deserves credit! Sending hugs x
ReplyDeleteThat picture of the bubble is amazing, like a crystal ball filled with prophecy.
Thanks! Some of the photos didn't turn out too badly. Quite dark and magical. I like them anyway lol. Thanks for the hugs. Could use them lately
