One eye on the winter....

Did I conjure up that cold?..

Another one of my favourites from the 80s...and an appropriately winter song.  Definitely one of my favourite winter songs if not my all time favourite winter song, even though of course its about Soviet politics.  I really like the third verse which I've copied below in ice blue!

We need something to keep the chill
From freezing our own free will
We’re teasing at war like children
Love is the one solution
Seeing ourselves inside
Our enemies’ need for shelter
Same winter wind that’s blowing
Deep down inside we know

Oh my goodness, I nearly set my house alight today.  In fact I did set my house alight.  I love fire.  Home fires, creating huge bon fires on grass and in empty paddocks.  However, I do not like seeing my house alight.  It is very scary.  Fortuantely I was able to put out the FIRE flames with SNOW.  I'd emptied the ashes from the fireplace into a recylable bag and dumped it right outside of my back door.  The flaw was a) the recyclable bag b) the ashes wernn't completly cold even though they had been sitting for 24 hours or more - reflecting a raging fire all weekend.

The good thing about this is it has definitely made me more fire safety concious or anxious.  Possibly both.  So, I am now reluctant to stoke up the fire and leave the house as I have done several times.  Better to be cold and have a house than to see it burnt down. 

So, today I have done some ''core" work only indoors pretending I am at CX 30!

Tomorrow, I'll go for a walk in the morning as I need to stay in the 'rapa to get my hair done - about half the price of Wellington! 

The road is way to icy to ride.

Thursday I will be back on the Terrace with my 'work assignment'.  Not as close as to the gym as when I worked for Labour and Corrections, but closer than Education.  So, only a five minute walk.  Ha!  I could even resurrect for a few weeks one of many "Healthy New Zealanders" t shirts I have.  But I wont ;-)

This is pretty "cool" too:
