The One About Inori

Our daily temperatures now average from 0 to 15 degrees celsius.

We do love the cold and use heating sometimes which can be quite painful on the pocket. We (all four of us) usually just huddle together under 3 thick quilts, each wearing 3 to 6 layers of clothing and socks to sleep. That way we don’t need heating while we are asleep!

My school requires me to travel quite a bit to their campus for my Chemistry practicals. The campus is about 4 hours drive away from where we live.

I dread going everytime because although Nad is the one driving and he never ever complains, I dislike long car rides. I’ve had car sickness since I was young. My mum had to time my meals – no food within an hour before going in the car or bus… either that or bring lots of plastic bags to catch whatever I throw up!

Because of this, I cannot knit and I cannot read in the car and I find it a waste of time, just sitting there, doing nothing.

I dislike driving as well… because it comes with a huge load of responsibility. The lives of your husband, your kids and yourself in your hands. *Shudder*.

I would cast on a project that requires only stockingnette stitch or simple stitches so I won’t have to look at the pattern or the knitting just so I can knit in the car but I already have SO MANY WIPs going on… urgh.

Anyway. I digressed. As usual.

These few mornings have been so cold that we have had frost on our garden beds, our lawns and even our windscreen!

Nad was wiping/chipping off a layer of ice from the windscreen with a rough glove.

Most of my friends just pour warm water over their windscreens.

Almost the entire journey to school was covered in fog.

This was what it looked like from afar:

And when we’re in it:

Some parts look like scenes from a creepy horror movie.

It’s been much colder than this nowadays. I’ve had it flash 0 degrees for the past two days.

We also saw something interesting… well.. not REALLY interesting but I thought it gave the term ‘Moving House’ a whole new meaning.

Literally.

Moving. House.

This is the 2nd time we’ve seen people move their houses this way. The first was an old weatherboard house and we could look into the front door as the truck past us and see kitchen cabinets still attached.

Haha, why don’t they just build another house instead?

Maybe they like their old house too much?
