Home fire burning

A beautiful bright blue sky and sunny day.
So glad that I bought some coal yesterday but not that I'd not ordered the oil sooner.
Cautiously ventured to the village for milk and the first newspaper in 3 weeks.
The antiseptic wipes in the car gloves box were frozen and stuck together.
The rock used to hold the gate from swinging was stuck to the ground with the frost although it's only about 0 - in fact 3 deg.C when I set off unusual period of low temperatures here with a slight northerly wind.
Chicken with dauphinois spuds and sprouts for supper washed down with the Rioja again.
