Today is more of the same....cold or very cold depending if you're in the sun or shade...that's outside. Or you could come into our house which is either cold, warm or very hot depending on the vagaries of the heat distribution through this 100 year old building. Back of house (north-facing) is the coldest with an increase of temperature as you make your way to the front which can be uncomfortably hot if the sun is shining through the windows. We also have a "cellar" (a space of approx 1 metre in height so no use to man nor beast). The floors are insulated but when that north wind gets going - like today - it whistles round your ankles so you end up with a hot head and cold feet! ANOTHER REASON TO BE LIVING SOMEWHERE ELSE e.g. Heraklion where it's currently 28 degrees! At least it's not raining nor my turn to walk the dog this afternoon............

It's Monday.......
The only photographs I could take today would be more snow and ice so I decided to publish this one as a token to a Symi friend who has a thing about dustmen......

Are they good bin men or evil bin men? Is that Bathampton on the other side of the valley? I used to visit there as a child, All I can remember is that there was a canal at the bottom of the hill.
ReplyDeleteOur bin men are great. Our recyclers vary. Last week they placed - not chucked - our bins inside our gate! As for the view - you're nearly right. It's the area above Batheaston called Bailbrook. Batheaston is on the other side of the valley in which lies the canal, the river and the railway line.
