Anyone been outside yet?

I's a bright-ish 5c degrees day here in Edinburgh. Generally I'm finding it more and more of a challenge to get out for my daily walk, which I usually really enjoy. If I go back to bed with a cup of coffee that's a big mistake! I'm wrapping up well with fluffy things! A colder house is why I'm hanging around in the mornings... no fun undressing and showering in the cold. I think I'll put the heating on first thing now. I'm still experimenting with how much and when with the heating. I guess others are doing the same. I live in a Victorian house with big high windows and no double glazing. Yesterday I spoke to a friend who is in the Borders. She lives and now also works in a modern build with reasonable insulation. She is not using an excess of energy but still her bill for the last month was £270... and that's before the real cold, like today set in! Brrr.

R rrrr eally ccc cold here Surrey/Sussex borders, warm weather a distant memory my son and girlfriend are in Miami , they sent me a video yesterday of everyone walking about in shorts and t shirts, I did say "make the most of it you won't like it here when you return in a couple of weeks".

I’ve been outside to cheer on the Santa dashers, but I’m back in now watching them from the window! It’s a comparatively balmy 6°C after the very low temperatures of the last few days. It was threatening rain but it’s clearing now.

6.5 deg here outside the kitchen window - TBH I thought it’d be colder. I will force myself out for a walk later. It’s going to be quite a bit colder in a few days, so I shall dig an old packet of lard out of the fridge and make a bird pudding with breadcrumbs, porridge and dried fruit.

We have 3 bird feeders endlessly refilled by dh and invariably busy with lots of feathery ones, but this will be for the ground feeders.

I see no reason to go out, not even into the garden. However no snoozy sunday for me. I sell online and am in the midst of a very busy sale so I have to get packages ready for collection tomorrow.

For once it is hot here. Around 30C today. At last.

It's raining in Brisbane - apparently 😁

But it's a toasty 4C here in Wales and it's just started raining too.
Lovely.

I’ve just taken my two grand daughter back home and it grey, damp and drizzly here. Not inspiring me at all - infact the life of a couch potato sounds appealing today! More knitting! 🧶

3 degrees C here. grey and gloomy. i have been out into the garden and was surprised that it wasn't too bad, probably because there isn't a wind.

Going to wrap up and take the Gchildren to the park for a pre-lunch appetite builder in a few minutes. It's been so wet I think we'll need wellies, but they are at the age where coats are not the done thing at all, so we'll see!

It’s 4 degrees here Merseyside damp and miserable there’s plenty of birds in the garden looking for food.

Freezing here. Not literally but pretty close! We have visitors today so I won't be leaving the house.

Raining in Durham and I don’t feel waterproof today!

nanna8 you can keep it as far as I’m concerned!
I’m still in bed
It’s 4 degrees here in Derby

You have a cruel streak

It getting darker here by the minute. Really off putting. Would like to snuggle down after Wordle, news and Gransnet but someone is coming and I have to shower etc.

For once it is hot here. Around 30C today. At last.

Yes as dogs go out every morning by 8am. I live in the borders and it is 4degrees with no wind and feels mild to me! No hat or scarf required.

I’m North of London and have been out to feed the birds. It’s a bit gloomy out but the cold wind from yesterday has eased. Will go to feed the ducks later.
