Title: It's so cold...
Post by: Diane CBPFC on January 17, 2012, 10:12:46 PM
...that when you walk on the snow it squeaks!


Conversation overheard between my 17 year-old son and hubby yesterday morning.

Steve: "I can't get the truck to start".

Hubby: "Did you have it plugged in?"

Steve: "No, the calf chewed through the extension wire".

Hubby: "Oh yes."

We didn't have conversations like that growing up in Wales.


It is much colder today than yesterday so they cancelled the school busses. This is known as a "Bus Day" which is a funny thing to call a day when there are no busses. I would like it to be renamed "No Bus Day" but it is so hard to bring about such large social changes.

Day 2 of bitter winter weather (-35C) has aligned with day 4 of my “back on track” salad diet. Not sure if I am going crazy with carb withdrawal or if I have cabin fever.  If I had a wooden cabin, I would eat it so it may be a mix of both.

Soup's ok too, Diane. I'm sure a nice, warming stew would be ok. Just lay off the mashed tatties. Hope you're staying inside like I keep telling you!  :)

I had to read the story (was trying not to as it seemed a bit silly) - it was only 15" in diameter - by the Google header it looked many times bigger than a cow.

It was a very small cow.
