-2C here last night. Mercifully there's no wind but my goodness, it's cold!
Frost is still lying in one or two parts of the garden which haven't felt
the sun of a glorious winter's day. Tonight, the temperature is falling
like a stone and after a trip to the chiropractor for both of us, the cold
almost undid all the good he'd done to our creaky spines.
Yesterday morning, Ray looked out of our bedroom window at about 7.30am and
exclaimed at the extraordinary sight of what looked like a bright red light
shining some distance away. It was almost fluorescent. It was only after a
few moments observation that we realised it was the sun. We've never seen
anything quite like it and in mediaeval times, I think it would have been a
portent, though of what, I don't know. When I did the well worn "red sky in
the morning..." Ray chipped in with "shepherd's cottage on fire"! Last week
we woke up to a sunrise that was pink right across the sky, looking exactly
like a sunset. The times they are a-changing!
