Cold start by happypat

Cold start

Hard foggy frost last night. Two B&B in & both had to scrape the ice off their windscreens! I was stripping the sheets off the bed & saw Martin earnestly scraping his glass. I dashed down to get my camera but he had got in the car by the time I got back upstairs.

Three good things:
1. Went to the accountants with our signed papers & paid our income tax bill before the end of January deadline!
2. Harry has put my big heavy weights in the boot again....I can’t move much on the ice without them!
3. Fruit for lunch, still on track!
Brrr. We haven’t had to scrape ice yet this year.

Oh! A cold image, I like the roof leading line. Weights in your boots? To keep you from blowing over in the wind? Your calves will surely be stronger.

@louannwarren ha ha Lou Ann, a slightly wrong way with words! Of course I mean the boot of my car! 🤣🤣

A very bleak and chilly outlook We did have a dusting of snow last night and it has been very chilly in spite of the morning sun ! Not nice when we have to scrape ice off the cars . I hope he did not reverse into your wall with his reverse lights on !!!

Looks cold, Pat.
We woke up in a white world this morning; about 5 cm of snow. Beautiful!

@beryl Ha ha no it’s the way they park along the wall like that Beryl. All in a row, usually three cars there but only two last night & one tonight.

A great viewing point across the tiles! Misty and freezing! I expect your Aga goes all night and day! Well done, you - for keeping the food to be less calories!

Boo

Oh this looks bleak. I can remember having to de-ice my car before I went to work in a morning when I lived in the UK. Don't miss that at all. These days I have to drive with one finger and one thumb until the aircon kicks in because the steering wheel is so hot, ha ha.

@onewing oh we did laugh at that Babs! I’ve just read it out to Harry! I don’t mind this weather so much it’s the wet & windy stuff that’s the problem!

@maggiemae Yes Aga going night & day all year! Love it!

@julzmaioro I liked the red light too Julz!

@happypat oh! That’s right, you call them “boots”, we call them “trunks”. How funny, I honestly thought you couldn’t walk outside without the weights in your boots. I’m laughing.

Looks very cold!

January 24th, 2019  
Great shot

@louannwarren so am I now Lou Ann as I thought you were joking....I to had forgotten your name is a trunk.....even more confusion!! Funny how just one word alters the whole meaning of a sentence! It’s wonderful!
January 24th, 2019  
I am imagining him there now......
January 24th, 2019  
I also thought your had weights in your shoes at first!!! We had 47C here today and like Babs I had to steer my car with thumb and finger for a while till the steering wheel cooled a bit.
