Winter Blues



Winter has not been kind so far as temperatures are reported to have dipped to as low as -24 degrees which is not the type of thing which makes you want to leave your home. In my case problems with heating and electrical breakdowns made moving in anyway the most important means for surviving these tough frost biting times.
Still, the brightness of the snow does brighten up the place and I ventured out to take some snaps with my new camera. On the first day, there was too much snow and the cold started gnawing at my exposed hands which were screaming at me to be covered. The second attempt brought about a more extreme situation. I had to go into a music shop to try to ease the pain which was rushing through my hands having been exposed for too long while trying to get some photos. There was only one problem though, I couldn't see a thing as my glasses were fogged up. It took a long time but eventually a hot coffee in a nearby cafe brought the blood back into my hands.

Thankfully the temperatures have increased a little and my fuseboard has been replaced with a modern one. The heating is now on full blast with no let up. The absence of insulation doesn't help matters much though and summer seems so far away...
