A COLD night, back around the freezing point again, with some strong gusty winds. I read somewhere last week that there was a weather event up in Alaska that would bring the cold weather South, I guess they called that one correctly. Looking at the weather charts we are right on the southern edge of the freeze. Places west of us in Texas seem to be even colder, with some sub zero temperatures being recorded in northern Mexico.
The difference between yesterday and today was that the sun was shining when we woke up, the temperature between the two days was almost identical, but whereas yesterday the heating was running throughout the day, today it hasn’t run at all after breakfast. The guy next to us must have had a really cold night; as we were eating breakfast he took out all three of gas cylinders and took them to the office to be filled. I feel pretty silly when I manage to run out on two cylinders!
Friday saw us off to the store for groceries, the $ exchange is beginning to make things a little expensive down here now, with the exception of gas, which continues to fall. I am counting on it being below $1Cad at home when we get back, it is around 72c a litre down here.
After lunch we braved the cold and headed out for a walk, we missed yesterdays due to the weather. I am still doing some wiring work on the camera, I just have one more bit to do, that will allow me to turn it on and off from outside the trailer, as the switch is in the bedroom at the moment and you can’t get to it when the slides are in. In addition to that I am trying get my head around a new (for me) programming language, c++. This will let me play more on the Raspberry Pi computer board I have.
Lyn has been sewing, and has moderated her language, so things must be going smoother.
The forecast is for warmer temperatures over the next few days, then back to the cool.
