27.12.2023 Minus one.

 ~*~

 Wednesday 27th 32F. Thick white frost on the cars. A dry, possibly sunny morning is promised. The lids of the recycling  bins were frozen shut. It was quite a struggle to open them! Up at 6.30. 64F/18C in the room. 

 8.30 32F/0C. Stove lit. More logs brought in. 66F/19C in the room. The greenhouse is fogged up. The sky is turning pink in the north. 

 My guest returns home today. It has been fun having somebody around for a few days. Endless talk and laughter. Somebody willing to do the washing up while I cooked. Free cooking tips from an expert. The entire collection of drinking glasses is now clean and put away. Which frees up two more translucent tubs for storage. I recognised some beer glasses. Which I had not used for ages. More misty-eyed nostalgia to fend off.

 13.15 Having lunch after taking my visitor to the village bus stop. Then catching up on the shopping.

 19.00 Dinner was mackerel in tomato sauce on toast with fresh tomatoes.
