Hats Off

Hats Off to you if you live somewhere cold over winter.  Hats off to our friends in Canada, the US, the UK, Sweden and all the chilly climates.  We hope that you are basking in glorious sunshine now and enjoying your summer.  We hope you are sipping Cocktails in your summer clothes, getting your feet out in the sun, swimming in the sea and enjoying your long days.  You see we have had Antarctic chills here this week, that have bought snow to much of NZ and we are not enjoying it.  We know we have little to complain about, last weekend we could hang our washing on the line and get it dry, so this too will pass.  Mums alarm went off at 6am, and she rolled over and luckily woke up at 7.30am, as she had to be at work at 8am and luckily made it just in time.

So we will be glad for the weekend  and some time to relax and catch up on lost sleeps.  Tonight mum is definitely off to bed early to keep herself warm and toasty.  I am in my number one position - exactly where I am in the photo, on the grey merino blankie at the end of the bed.

Smoochies.

  2. We don't imagine you're enjoying the chill at all, Poppy. Everything is relative. We're used to freezing our furs off for 5 - 6 months of the year, and though we don't like it at all, we have the resources to cope. It's different when you live in a climate that's unaccustomed to that kind of cold and snow. So stay bundled up and snuggled up and keep warm!

  3. Must be awful for you when the resources for dealing with very cold weather aren't at hand. Most of the time it must be a total blessing living in NZ.

  4. You do look comfy warm there on the bed, Poppy. We haven't had much of a summer in Chicago so far this summer. Been cool and wet.

  8. We here in Canada are somewhat used to cold and snow
    and we have a furnace that blows warm air on our furs :)
    We are sorry your Mom had to deal with snow.
    Good thing you have that cozy blue blankie to keep you warm :)

  9. Mum just gets tired of the snow in the winter. Not seeing the ground for 2-3 months. Cold you can dress for or stay inside if needed.

  11. Even though it meant your mum had to rush, the extra hour and half of sleep must have been needed and I hope she felt better for it. The hot weather has returned again and I am lying outdoors wherever I can find shade and a breeze.
