Lucky & Phoebe on a cold winter's day

Yesterday was one of the coldest winter days I can remember. We have a couple of these cold blasts from Antarctica every winter but this one reached all the way up the east coast. The Bureau was even predicting snow in Queensland (although it looks as though it didn't quite happen)!

I had to do some housework, ironing & cooking in the morning but Lucky & Phoebe had no such duties. They barely put their noses through the catflap all day. Lucky curled up on (or under) her blanket & snoozed all day & Phoebe followed me around for a while hoping I'd sit down. She had to make do with my reading chair until the afternoon when I finally did sit down & she had her own personal electric blanket for the rest of the day.

  1. It's cold here too Lyn even though we are right on the coast. I drove to and from Sydney yesterday and the car thermometer read between 6-10C! That's on the coast!

    1. I don't think it got above 7C all day. Lots of rain too, over 40mm which is good because we hadn't had any rain for ages. Luckily I didn't have to go out so we had a very cosy day indoors.

  2. And here I was happy I didn't have to go out in our 90-degree heat. Hope your weather gets better (and ours does too!)

    1. I'm not complaining about the weather, Audrey, I love winter & wish it lasted longer! Summer is my least favourite season so I hope autumn comes as soon as you wish.

  3. Since we have hit the dog days of summer, my cats are sprawled out on the wood floors trying to keep cool. I envy yout the rain!

    1. The rain has been lovely. I also feel sorry for the cats in summer, it's so much harder for them to keep cool than to warm up.

  5. Seems so strange to read of winter when we're so hot. I use to prefer summer to winter, but as I grow older I prefer winter, if it's not too cold.

    1. I've always preferred winter but our winters aren't as extreme as yours. I'd rather add more layers of clothing than be hot & not able to get any cooler.
