IT IS THE MOST ABOMINABLY COLD WEATHER you can get without at least frost everywhere, if not snow... In fact by the ice-stick feel of my fingers Jack Frost may well be out and about tonight...
All I have done today is sleep till past 4pm (maybe a midmorning dose of methadone helped... not that it has any proper "sleeping pill" effect on me. But if I'm already a-drowse, or on the verge of sleep it does knock me off. All the effect it really has is to make me feel stone-cold normal. (Stone cold being an operative phrase as I feel chills far more on that than stoked up on gear...)Anyway on waking I found myself glued (for want of anything better to watch) to Mary Poppins (the chimney & rooftop scenes) and The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe Or Narnia or whatever it's called (latest Hollywoodized version...) It's all a highly symbolic struggle between good and evil; that's what I got out of it. Anyway look I gotta go it is so very cold.... Laters...
PS RE Illustrations: top one is best I could get under Jack Frost (though it looks like the sort of storybook illustration I might have treasured had I had a childhood in rural Spain)... bottom is the beautiful, gorgeous, wondrous, etc Tara PT as mentioned in yesterday's dream
Yes I know nothing happened; it was a nothing doing kinda day... boring. What else do you expect of Boxing Day..?
ReplyDeleteBut come on someone.. leave a message ;->...
Haha kk, I'll play your silly game! Hot and sticky here but definitely a chill out Saturday after 2 days of blistering partydom. I'm getting too old for this lark. Hope you had a decent Chrissy. One word in relation to the cold - "Layers". Cheers Gleds.
ReplyDeleteI know I should ... but we've got a central heating freak somewhere downstairs who's put it on max setting... so I wake up with the chills yet knowing it's on max so "layers" might not be quite the anwer they are for "normal" people if you know what I mean...

Hey!
ReplyDeleteHave yourself a wonderful 2009 as well.
I don't know how cold cold is for you...here it gets quite cold but not quite as cold as further north. I am rarely warm enough either - low body temp. And anything sets off the chills. I try to keep my feet and back warm and drink tea - and keep the blood sugar up. If you can get ahold of the fuzzy artic fleece blankets out now, they help a lot too. Also - I tan and that makes a big difference. All the best.
No kidding it REALLY is like this here. I can honestly say that about 99% of the pictures on my blog are actually mine and taken by me. Thanks for dropping by.
ReplyDeleteI see you've met my good blog buddy Jeannie above. I love her.
Happy New Year.
hey there...i have been blogging for a year or so but always kept it quite private, until i came across your blog and decided to follow it!!!! i' unfortunately not so much in london anymore as i have moved up to university in leeds for a couple of years..its def nice finding a blog similar to my own....i'm looking forward t some inspiration and with a little imagination i can, through ur blog be transported to the familiarity of my london...through your eyes and words..!! happy christmas anyhow
ReplyDeleteTis cold here too. At least colder than we are used to. I hate having to smoke my cigarettes with shaking hands...but so ridiculous to buy gloves when you live in Los Angeles, for cryin' out loud.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite bit of Mary Poppins is "I Love to Laugh." No contest.
Hello! I was so glad to see the happy hamster pop-up in my blog!
ReplyDeleteI've been a very bad blogger of late. Christmas time gives me the worst case of the blues - family situation - and hubman got laid off. He's a year short from retiring but looks like he'll be doing it, like it or not! At least we have each other...
I'm sorry to think of you being so cold. We live in mid-central CA and it can get cold in the winter - our high today was 48; during the summer it can ready 110 easily. I'll take the cold. You can only get so naked, you know?
It's 11:25 p.m. here and I'm about ready for a cuppa, too.
I pray for a better year ahead for you and a whole lot of good stuff.
~~~Blessings~~~
There is a proverb, "while you are asleep you can't do any sin" or something like that. So it's good for you to sleep ! I hoped for you to celebrate Christmas with your mother since she helped you moving, but maybe your family lives too far away ?
ReplyDeleteHi everyone thanks for the messages I am about to be terminated by this computer as time's pretty much ran out... I might get back to you I don't promise (because if I did I wouldn't do it, so I won't, which means I will... what a topsyturvy world...)
