It is generally considered that Canadians are friendly, sharing people but in this instance can I politely request that you keep the censored Polar Vortex to yourselves? While we get some consolation in the fact that your temperatures are WAY below zero, ours should be way ABOVE zero, and they are not. Having said that, today’s high of 6°C will actually rise to 15°C tomorrow. For the time being we will ignore next Wednesday’s forecast down here for snow.
The temperature was cool enough to trigger a desperate need for retail therapy in Lyn; I wasn’t invited to participate!
The good news is, we both have plenty of hobby stuff to do down here, spending time inside is no big issue, we’d be doing the same at home anyway.
While Lyn was out I set about tracking down a possible water leak (what’s new). The space under the sink has being getting slightly wet, but with no obvious leak causing it. Today I cleared the area out, dried it and sat there watching to see where the water could be coming from. After a couple of minutes I was rewarded with a drip from the hot water pipe. The drip was only visible on the pipe for a couple of seconds every couple of minutes which is why I had missed it before. A quick tightening of the connection solved the problem.
Lyn came back after lunch suitably therapatised (new word?) and ready to relax. Later in the afternoon we went for our walk, and although the temperature was low, there was little wind and it felt quite warm in the sun
