Frost... 27 November 2008

Today (jeudi) was very exciting. The weather has been getting colder and colder. This morning it was -1°C on the car temperature gauge.

We don’t have a carport and the poor car has to stay out all night in the freezing cold. There was frost all over the top of it and the windscreen had ice on it. When we put the wipers on to clear the windscreen the ice broke off in little sheets.

The countryside looked foggy and the fields were covered in frost. It looked so pretty. The prospect of a white Christmas is very appealing. The kids are hanging out to light a fire in the living room. We have a wood stove thingy as well in the kitchen. We’ve ordered a load of fire wood so that should be interesting. We also need to buy an axe because the wood comes in large chunks which need to be split and made smaller.
