Ice-cold in Irvine

Well the snow returned of course, and though we only got a light fall (barely one inch) it has been blummin’ cold. Our milk has been arriving already opened by the frost:

and yesterday I had to use the scraper on the INSIDE of the car’s windscreen as well as the outside. That’s pretty cold! At least the arctic weather has given us some very picturesque views on local walks:

Another benefit of the cold is that everything becomes twice as sniffy, and it’s much more fun to have to dig through the snow to find all the hidden poosicles!

It’s so sniffy, Beanie doesn’t even feel the cold on her exposed botty!

After walks we’ve seen some very excited play in the garden. There’s been chasing…

You have nibbled my ears and offended a Shaolin Temple!

And, for the first time, there’s also been a bit of pole dancing:

It’s just as well the neighbor’s windows have been closed, because all this play has been rather noisy!
