I think I moved planets. Yesterday hot and 33. Today torrential rain and gale force wind that is quite cold. Current temp 21 but feels colder. Inside it is still very humid but we can't really open the windows due to the sideways rain.
Is it still officially summer?

Oh yes, February is normally our hottest month. Not this year though! Autumn starts 1st March

I bought a pot of basil today. Put it on the window sill in the kitchen, as I do with all my indoor growing herbs. The window is double glazed, the kitchen has central heating, yet within just over an hour my poor basil plant was looking much the worse for wear, with leaves turning purple /black and dropping off! I moved it to a spot near the radiator and it's much happier now.So cold up here!

Today we have a high of -1. I don’t remember living here, it ever being below freezing all day. It is the last day of freezing temperatures though for the time being - looks like the mud will be back - deep joy!

We seem to have had our heating on 24/7 for the last 5 or 6 days.
I need it to go OFF and get some fresh air in the house but with our frozen hot water pipe - which the plumber fixed, phew - OH has "The Fear".
I'm going to have to wait until he goes out to open all the windows and switch it off for a couple of hours......

The temperatures here definitely remind me of Scotland. I don’t really mind the freezing underfoot as it keeps the mud at bay, it’s the wind that’s making it miserable walking.
I had no hot water or heating all day yesterday. The pressure had dropped in the system, easy to fix but our boiler is up in the loft and I don't do lofts or ladders
. It really wasn't too bad, had the small oil filled radiator up in the office and got it up to 16°c, the rest of the house was 11 - 12°c. The worst bit was no hot water to wash my hands and wash up with.

I often see the gritter as we live near a hospital and the gritter comes round often. I forget to check their names every time! 
Chilly chilly chilly wind but the mud is all frozen so no hosing dogs down today.

It is minus 7 max today. As long as Finn is happy with it we will walk a couple of kilometers. Not to much for the cold is unbelievable!!

Yesterday I was outside all day working in the garden in a vest top, with a trip to the river with Ginny at lunch time for a plate of patatas bravas. Today, it’s drizzling and grey. It really can’t make up its mind.

Yesterday was a strange day. Sunny all morning, but very cold. In the afternoon it started snowing for about an hour or so and was still freezing. In the early evening the sun came out again for an hour. Today is dry at present, but the wind is strong and it’s -1. I expect with the wind it is more like -5 or -6. Not going to like our walk today!

No I’m not looking forward to mine! The wind is bitter. I just don’t seem to be able to get warm even though our house is warm.

It was about -5 this morning and very icy!
Gorgeous blue skies but not an enjoyable walk in suburbia today as all the snow has now turned hard and there is lots of ice.

Yesterday's snow is all gone. We'll be off out for a walk in the rain shortly.

Snow gone down here in the valley, but still there on the tops. It's dull and very grey with a bitter wind and it looks as if there's going to be precipitation of some sort before long, so I'm off to gather winter fuel (well, bring it in from the garden) before it starts, then we can spend the rest of the day being cosy.
