You Know It's Too Freezing Outside When....(Please Complete).

by , 3 months ago

You are too cold to complain to someone outside when they are constantly swearing infront of children in the city centre and even an extremely attractive blonde lady passer-by cannot attract and divert your attention from the excessive cold. Over to you now!

Hmm, well in my case, CS, it's when I can't open the porch door downstairs from my flat. The double glazed porch has an aluminium frame and the door freezes shut. Metal door sticking to metal frame.

It causes much hilarity when I have to open it to let a friend in, or to receive a parcel etc, as I have to shout through the glass to ask the person on the outside to give the door a few hard shoves!

If I just want to get out (it's my only way out) I have to plug a hairdrier into the socket inside a cupboard in the porch and warm the door up so I can open it to get out! :-)

Heck, fruits, that's a bit scary. You should always have an escape route!

I have got a special escape window in case of fire, from which I can jump onto the porch roof, Feline, just can't really use that for my everyday comings and goings! :-)

Anyway, can most people get out of the upstairs level of their house without going downstairs and through a door first? My flat is only the upper floor of a normal two storey building.

My front door needs a shove from outside when its wet to get it open, but at least I can go out the back and round to do it myself :)

I can do that at the moment, as I have keys to the downstairs flat (it's been empty for a while) and has a patio door into the garden. Only problem is...it's a massive garden and a long walk round to the front!

All good fun in the winter months Fruity - take care

Feeling quite glad I live in a bungalow now....!

Luckily, the door only does this in freezing weather, so it's only for a small number of days a year really. I don't worry about it.

... Your bacon sandwich quickly turns from something warm and lovely into a freezing cold chewy mess!

The Polar Bears come knocking and begging to come in....

-3c here this Wednesday morning and due to drop again overnight, brrrr.

by LILLIE, 3 months ago

Oh, Lillie, those polar bears would take up even more room in the bed than my pussies!

Weekend snow still lying frozen solid in the garden and temperature not predicted to go above freezing until the weekend.

by Feline123, 3 months ago

As long as you and those pussies are warm Feline that's all that matters.
Hope your feeling more like youself again now?

The world can go and do what it's like whilst I'm under my duvet with my good book having just had my tea and toast. I don't want much outof life and I'm certainly not going to be interfering in anyone else's. p.s. my cat sleeps on a blanket on top of the bed but peers down at me during the night - quite scarey. p.s. A tall man visited during the week and had a glass with £20 and £10 notes in but as I put my hand out to take it he disappeared.

It's perishing here in Yorkshire and still thick snow.

by Sabre, 3 months ago

I'd disappear if you tried to take my money too....

No snow here, bright sunshine but bit chilly.

by Jazzj, 3 months ago

You can't turn over in bed because you're surrounded by cats snuggling into the duvet.

by Feline123, 3 months ago

Lol, I know that feeling!

by Jazzj, 3 months ago

No snow or ice here in my part of Scotland. Played golf in the sunshine yesterday. Temp was 8 degrees centigrade. Nice weather for February.

I'll answer if it gets cold.

by Sealate, 3 months ago

Ooh you lucky thing Sealate. +8c is positively tropical compared with down here along the east coast.

by LILLIE, 3 months ago

..you get in the car having scraped the ice off the outside only to realise that now you have to start on the inside......
