Snow-less in Scotland


Flakes

Ye Gods it's cold!..........did I say a few weeks ago that I like winter? Can I retract that statement for a day or two whilst my little body adjusts to the arctic figures my external thermometer is currently displaying?

I have not been warm since sometime yesterday, the heating is belting it out and my nose has not crossed the threshold since we got home yesterday evening and yet I am still bloody freezing cold.

The temperature is only a degree or two below freezing but add to that the wind chill and we are somewhere in the region of minus 15 right now....and falling. PG was forced to cut his round of golf to only 9 holes this morning, the fact that he even considered standing in a field poking a stick at a ball with the wind whistling off the sea amazes me...the man is mad! Ditto's lifestyle has also been curtailed, she has only ventured out once or twice and then only for markedly briefer periods than is the norm!

This would of course all be acceptable if there was snow! I could stamp my feet in frustration, there is snow higher up the country, there is snow lower, Snowbabies have snow in Yorkshire ..........but no, not a flake of snow in gemmaks-ville, not one single, solitary flake to be seen anywhere! Bah!

WOW! I love the new look! Though the bird was too cute.

I've always wanted to visit Scotland. Note to self: NEVER in the winter. It got down into the high-30s earlier this week (at night!) and I was whining.

Stay Warm!

Stop the whining and put on some warm socks. heh heh
I wanted to say that to someone else other than my wife.

gemmak said...

Cativa: hell.....I can't imagine the high 30's even in the height of summer.....in fact I don't think I have ever experienced that kind of heat, amazing from where I'm say shivering right now! Heh.

Risky: Pah! go nag your wife, PG provides my share! hehehe.

Did you take that snowflake picture? If so, how? It's brilliant.

gemmak said...

Hell no, Alan, I am flattered that you might even consider it! I just forgot to put a credit on it!If I could take that I wouldn't be working in a shop on a Saturday for a living! heh.
