Hi, Rusty!
Zero degrees? Brrr.... that's cold! I'd say that Winter is definitely with you!
We have a temperature of about 7C here, although it will probably go down a little more overnight.
Wet and mild supposedly tomorrow.
With regard to answering questions on the forum, Admin have set various restrictions in place because of the spammers, especially the Korean ones.
One of these restrictions is that you cannot post again within one minute.
I've come across it several times. A nuisance, but if it deters spammers, then so be it, I guess we can all put up with it!
Have you got anything nice planned for tomorrow?

Hello, Elle,
7 C is quite warm!
I understand about spammers.
They are pests.
No plans from my end, but Miss Around the World is visiting in the afternoon with a Christmas card for me.
And make sure joiner has plenty of room on Monday for the new door installation.
I have put a wee bet on Frida Hansdotter to win the slalom at Are tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Good Morning, Rusty!
Fell dreich today! There is supposed to be a window a little later in the morning when the rain will stop, so at the moment we are holding back on the dog walk!
I hope your weather is better? Has it warmed up any since last night?
So your joiner is coming tomorrow to do your door? What stage is he at with it? Is the door already made now, and just has to be fitted?
It will be good if it is all finished for Christmas!
You will be looking forward to seeing Miss ATW this afternoon!
Our younger daughter is planning on coming over later with our grandson. That will be good!

Good morning, Elle.
Hard frost here. Minus 1 C. Not warm at all!
Yes, you should wait for a break in the weather before you walk.
I only know joiner is coming, nothing more.
Tomorrow will be a surprise! I hope it will be all done and dusted tomorrow.
Then I shall think of the next task!

Morning Rusty, Elle and everyone,

It's not too warm here either: 1C around 7 and heavy fog; even now (almost 11 my time) I can't see the Mairie down town and it's an imposing building, nor can I see some surrounding houses - in fact, I don't suppose I can see more then 150 meters .

Temp now 5C but supposed to have 0c / -C1 tonight. I wish it would settle one way or the other !

Good morning, Pigale!
Swap you rain for fog?
I'm getting tired of becoming wet; and rain = mud= filthy dog!
but it's not cold here, that is one good thing.
I agree with you that it would be good to have a constant temperature....one never knows what to wear, or how hot to set the c/heating...
Have you got any plans for today or are you staying put whilst it's so foggy?

Hi Elle,

I always tend to stay put on Sundays - nothing to do anywhere.
I'll keep my fog if you don't mind; it might lift and we might see some sun..... you never know. I hate rain anyway.

I am amusing myself with a 3D cubic puzzle at present : subject Notre Dame de Paris. It's a cross between a puzzle and a model (maquette). While I am doing that, I don't think - only about what I am doing, so it's great.

Hi, Rusty!
The rain has stopped- long enough for us to get in a couple of hours walk, I hope!
I have finished the Everyman crossword- just one left that I cannot parse! Inspiration may strike whilst I am out facing the elements!
What time is the skiing on the TV? Shall you watch it this morning whilst waiting for Miss ATW to arrive?
Good luck with your bet on Frida Hansdotter!
Fingers crossed that the rain holds off! Talk later......

Hello, Elle!
Frida was second to Petra Vhlova!
Petra was last to go and flew down the mountain.
I thought Frida had it, but no.
Great entertainment, though!.
