Hi all,
As most of you in the northern hemisphere are trying to keep warm we have just had 3 days of . . . 109F! Unfortunately we had commitments in the city on 2 days & it was awful! I was really worried I'd have a nose bleed.
Back home on the coast we have had a blustery, thundery change. Big drops landing on the roof as I write.
We are on our own for Christmas this year as the family are all with the 'outlaws'. However we prefer not to get caught up in all the emotional turmoil that occurs around this time of year & are happy to wing it. I have planned a special seafood lunch. Yet to put up any decorations - can't seem to find the time or inclination.
So think of us when you are building your snowman :silly:

Saw on the news that you have a heat wave going on down there! Too cold here for me to go out and build a snowman, which I have never done! Talking snow and freezing rain here today, tomorrow and Sunday.

we had ice storms yesterday! Started out with the temp warming up than rain than it turned to ice. Depending on where you are in my area depended on if or how long you lost power. I was out for 1 hr daughter out for 5-6 and last I heard there are a few that still do not have power back on in the city next too mine.



No white christmas and with the dampness my bones are just aching 109 almost sounds good! Try and Enjoy the holidays! can you build Sandman? Sending thoughts your way!

Much cooler now. A bit more energy with it.
Have found another couple of 'orphan' friends to share Christmas Day with.

A happy Christmas & many blessings in the new year to all my ITP friends.

Julia, yeah, we got hit with the ice storm too. We were lucky and haven't lost our power, tho. We went out last night to clean off the car, but have to go do it again so Steven can get to work. Freezing rain warning still in effect here.

I've seen the news abut the ice storms - we are fortunate with the sold and at least the sun is shining. Take Care. Christine

We were lucky, no power outages. A couple of communities around us were hit worse. Some spots are still without power.

Glad you weren't in the dark for long, Julia!

I was out for the evening when I came home the ice was already starting to build. First thought was I keep my apartment cool better turn the heat up incase power goes out. So i did went to sleep woke up about 4am used the washroom and was like whoa it is hot in here I'll never get back to sleep in this heat. So I turned everything down got comfy infront of a movie. 1/3 of the way in click no power I was kicking myself that I had let the apartment cool down. I was very lucky only out for 1 hour and I had warm blankets!

I think all the linemen who have given up their Christmas deserve a great big kudos! They are all working so hard to get the power restored to those who are still without. One of Steven's co-workers is going on 6 days without power. I think we're supposed to get some more snow tonight/tomorrow and maybe on Sunday. It was nice to have a white Christmas, but now it can go away!

Yes the linemen and women need great applause there were power outages all across Ontario. They worked hard and long hours!


Christmas was beautiful with the snow on the ground!

Here we go again - a week of 40 degrees + ! (105 F)
Came home from the city and found it too hot even to go for a swim (we face West & get the late afternoon glare off the sea plus the hot dry wind was off the land).
Have watered veggies & shifted pot plants. Am hoping to do some quiet inside activities for a few days. The Australian tennis Open is on, & I want to make 2 new baby quilts soon so can sort through my stash of fabric. Lots of moisturizer & nose oil!
Hope the cold front has settled over the other side of the world.

46C (115F) forecast today - ugh . . . A nasty windy day ahead with a delayed change tomorrow.
Power outages, fires across the state.
I am fortunate in not having to go out anywhere. Watered the garden & pots last night.
I started a jigsaw puzzle yesterday, the first in years & realized how much I enjoy doing them. Only 500 but achievable.
Moisturizer, hair conditioner, nose oil & bowls of water. Oh & an iced coffee!

Are you still making snowmen over there?
