Gentlemen Close your Ears!
Hush. Sshh, I will tell you what I hate about winter coldness the most. You ladies will understand this one. The toilet seat. It Chills me. I am getting very tired of my freezing porcelain toilet seat. I sit down and squawk at its icy coldness. There you are now. You know the worst.
Yesterday had spots of sun. It was as though the lighting guys were up in the grid randomly hanging and testing lights for one play, aiming light this way and that, while the actors on the stage were rehearsing for another play altogether. The sun came out once in the middle of a snow shower! 
Then the snow moved on. And as the clouds returned to the scene from Stage Left, the sun silently exited on Stage Right. Off to the Green Room for a cup of tea with Snow.
Then they rehearsed it all over again. But that was good, we got the precipitation And the sunshine. Perfect really. Of course then I had to go in and very carefully clean the lens on a whining Camera House. That snow was wet!
Good morning. I hope you all have rays and rays of loveliness today. I think you will.

Have wooden lavatory seats not yet reached the prairies, or did you specifically order/make a porcelain one to remind yourself of the penance you would have endured had you chosen to be a Carmelite nun?
Happy Friday on the Farmy – Happy Weekend:)
My dear dear Celi. I feel your pain! For one winter I lived in a house with an outdoor toilet. The temperature would plummet to minus thirty below. Cold is cold even when the seat is wood. A million wishes for a warmer week-end. V.
the hen looks as though she’s trying to work out where all that white stuff is coming from! As for the loo seat, I think that hovering might be the only solution!

I am so ready for spring. SO READY. My kids and I visitied 17 baby lambs the other day…and I thought of you! I adore bounching, jumping, springing lambs!
Haha. My mother came back from Japan raving about the toilets – not only heated but they played a tune as well and then blow dried the nether regions (press appropriate button for appropriate area to dry!)
people in Japan used heated toilet seats – good luck
You are much braver than me to take your camera out in the falling snow.
At school I roomed with a girl orginally from the US, who in winter wore all-in-one Pjs with a flap in the nether regions… which would offer a little barrier to a chilly loo seat I’d imagine. But, the seasons are marching onwards, towards winter for us in the southerm hemisphere, and soon you get our warmth 🙂
The snow had all gone by the time I left Northumberland for home at 5.30 this morning. But it had migrated 600 miles South, and the roads near here were like tunnels, with car-high heaps of snow either side and a single clear track in the middle..
Jock’s finished the Kupa embroidery while I’ve been away – I’ll put a photo in the Jock’s Embroideries page on my blog when I’ve got over my travel-lag tiredness, to see if you would like to have it.

Brrrrrrr……at least the sun was out for a bit!!! Feeling the cold through your pictures—you are one brave soul, Cecilia!
Oh, your post just brought us sunshine: it had been a dismal morning until I opened your blog and sunrays suddenly flooded the room 🙂 ! Your animals can’t wait for spring days to come either – my what a bored looks on their faces and they don’t have to sit on freezing toilet seats: wooden ones are definitely kinder to nether regions . . . hope counting down the days with you helps just a tad 😀 !
Sun dance for real!
Wishing you warm
Spring is coming your way. We’ve got daffodils blooming, and we’re just a few hours south. (And, yes, I know exactly what you mean about the toilet seats!)
I had such wonderful plans. Yesterday and today I was going to take advantage of the dry weather and work in the front garden and then make the rounds at my marktes — and that’s when it all went bad. Today, as the 2nd plumber left, the rain started. It was too late for the market and too wet for gardening. Worse yet: no cannoli to soothe my pain.
On the other hand, my toilet seat was warm.
Here’s to a better, warmer tomorrow! G’nite, Celi!
