I now own a mitten with a scraper embedded in it (Ailz bought it from eBay or Amazon or some such) and I got to use it on the car for the first time this morning. I was pleased to see the heater in the rear window is working again; it wasn't broken, merely discouraged. The temperature out on our street- which never gets any sun in winter- is Minus Five.

It's odd how "northern" our Christmas traditions all are- given that Christianity started out in the Mediterranean. I suppose we have the Victorians to thank for this.

Charles Dickens (my home town author) is the guilty party. He grew up and came to young manhood in a 'mini ice age' so to him, all Christmases were always white and he, in a sense, wrote the 19th century Christmas. :o)

Me too!


I'll be on my traditional annual read of 'A Christmas Carol' shortly.

Cloisterham (Rochester) is my native town. :o)

Rochester is a handsome town.

My Dad used to work there.
