Below

Even the signpost was cold!
Freezing that is. Below freezing. As in it's cold. Fortunately no wind today, but some is expected for the coming days. As is snow, but that won't come until next week apparently. Other than that, the freezing temperatures are to stay for a while yet. Which for the part of Norway I am living in, is quite unusual. The weather during the winter is normally rain and plus temperatures. 

I don't mind so much about the cold. I like the cold. You can dress up for the cold. Put on a pair of longjohns or an extra shirt under your uniform. A pair of lovely pink mittens when out walking. A bright orange hat. 

My bed looks has more blankets on it than usual as well. And today I bought something I thought I would never buy: an electric blanket. Whether I will be using it on my own bed, or whether it will be for the guest bed, is still up for debate in my head. Then again, having to strip the bed in these temperatures is no fun either. 

Anyway. It's cold here. Just thought you would like to know!

    1. I love hot water bottles. In fact, I had my mum bring me some hot water bottles when she came to look after me last year. The proper metal ones that will take boiling water. They stay warm until the next morning.

      I wore good pj's last night and was really nice and warm in bed. You just have to dress the part you know!

  3. I prefer a duvet to an electric blanket but my daughter loves the electric . Try it. You never know until you try.

    1. I tried it once and didn't like it that much. I prefer the old hot water bottle(s).

    1. It only just started here. It is actually quite unusual for these parts. Normally it's plus temperatures and rain at this time of year!

  7. It has been a long time since we used an electric blanket. I had forgotten all about them. It should work really well for you.
