Jack Frost has been painting his patterns about the place again these last couple of days.
We don't mind if it means the sun shines during the day, but after the heavy frost on Tuesday we had a cloudy day. F reported that the frost around Haslemere (Alfred Lord Tennyson used to live in that town) was so heavy and so white that it looked like snow from the whizzing-past train.
Today the sun made the melting frost appear as steam from dark surfaces - like the cover on our folding clothesline for instance.
We can no longer show you big expansive views of sea, so we are going to focus on the small and the close for a while ....the stuff that a cat can see and contemplate.

Frosty mornings and sunny days are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it will before we again start the mornings the same way.
With the summer being so strange we just don’t know what the autumn is going to be like

ReplyDeleteMy that is pretty, that frost stuff. Looking from the inside, that is Though being out in it can be pleasant too - as long (as you point out) the sun obliges. The Hutch's windows don't get frosty, but everything around on rooves and cars and roads certainly got some this week - and even, one night, the snow came. Didn't last of course. Never does here, near the water. I must say, you look rather handsome there in your lounger, Tigger mate... if a tad leery at the thought of dental hygiene!

That's a pretty elegant pose. Cats can do this. I love the frost patterns, thank you for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteJack Frost is a darn good artist.
ReplyDeletethe video of the frosty steam/smoke is so interesting I watched it twice. looks like a smoke stack. in 33 years in this house we have had 3 days of frost. until last week, we had 3 days in a row of frost on the roofs and the grass. it damaged the leaves on our huge elephant ear, but they survived. and our normal weather is back. also the last 3 weeks are the coldest for the longest time ever in 33 years. not your kind of cold but cold to us. we have never run the heat at night in all those years and for 10 days the heat was on and never turned off.. still we have the bright sunshine which makes it ok... the frost art on the windows is so pretty... I am wondering if Tigger misses rolling along in donkey and meeting all the people and going in and out and around.
ReplyDeleteHi Tigger, I'm back!
ReplyDeleteThose are great pictures of frost, and well done for reminding Gail that Northern Scotland is not the only part of the UK that can be cold. I think she is acclimatising back to Aberdeen temperatures now she's been home for nearly two days. Truth to tell, she says Cuba was too hot and humid for her tastes, even in January.
Toodle-oo!

Greetings Mr T! Brr, it certainly looks nippy there! I have never seen frost like that before, I am not sure Jack Frost will ever make his way to Piraeus (just as well, i say!). Talking of expansive views if the sea, R was running past your old place this morning, and tells me that they have completely redone the balconies. They are now fronted entirely by glass, so you would have been able to enjoy the view even without climbing up your cat perch. R must have been going so fast (chance would be a fine thing!) that she was unable to take a photos for you, i am afraid. Keep warm Mr T, and love to your humans!
