(Same weather by you, @RadishRose?

Yep. Not too cold at 50f

It's freaking freezing here today!

Colder than 50f, here. Below freezing!

However, Just slightly below;
Not what I'd call freaking freezing.

Good morning, @Kaila and all. Bit of a rainy day but still quite mild at 57F..yes, even though the UK has been using Celsius for decades, I am still on fahrenheit. I think I'm a bit of a dinosaur as I also work in feet and inches rather than centimetres. i just can't visualise something if I'm told it's x number of centimetres. Am I bothered.....No.

Going to have a quick play in word games before Rocco arrives then we'll go for a short walk. He won't want to go far in the rain, even though is not heavy, plus my friend is coming round mid morning for a coffee and catch up.

Have a good day everyone.

We love that you're a dinosaur, by your own identification, Pam.

Hope you enjoyed your friend's visit.

Good morning, Kaila & Friends. Once again I've not been online much... still dealing with having no heat and it's wearing me down fast. The house was 58 overnight and it will take long for the space heaters to start doing anything. One of the things was supposed to finally be done today but the worker doing it has the flu, I've been informed. Getting harder to keep positive. BUT I shall.

Very sorry for the delays, in something that is as needed for comfort and security and good mood, as heat, Kate.

I surely hope it gets fixed very soon.!

Thank you for the blanket and coffee, @Medusa ! I had an update a while ago that the heating contractor is now in the hospital with pneumonia and I seriously don't know what to do. And it's snowing. When it happens that things feel overwhelming, I sometimes shut down emotionally and feel that starting to happen, sooooo, if I'm quiet for a little while, it won't be for long. Love you guys and gals, and I'll be back to bug y'all just as soon as I can focus again.

Oh gosh, I just read this next update of yours.
That must surely feel very discouraging.
We're thinking of you!

@CallMeKate Things sure aren’t going your way. Have you considered checking into a nearby hotel for a couple of nights, maybe even a week.

@CallMeKate ….. sorry to read that you have no heat and that your heating technician has pneumonia. That’s not good. I hope you get heating soon. Try not to let it get you down. I know that it’s easier said than done.
I’ll send positive vibrations your way.

@Pam …. @Kaila …. We have had rain for the last few days also and our dogs don’t like going out in the rain for a walk either, even with raincoats on. Their raincoats are so darn cute too.

@Medusa ….Does your boyfriend ever visit you?
If it’s too personal a question, I apologize.

Anyway, I’m just sitting down watching tv with my husband.

Take care everyone.

Of course you'd need to keep tabs on things at home,
@CallMeKate
but it might be worth even 2 nights of warm sleep.
