| Cader Idris |
The weather has turned very cold. Last night was minus five and minus seven is expected tonight. It is even colder than Paisley and Dundee which seem to be a balmy minus four. It has been sunny during the day but the sun has not raised the temperatures above freezing and Cader has a dusting of snow. It is unfortunate that this is the week we have chosen to start our building works. The heating has been removed and all the electricity, barring a couple of sockets, has been disconnected.
The pond has remained frozen, the ground is as hard as rock and it has not been possible to extend the vegetable garden. The day has been spent logging as it is the fuel that warms you twice. Once when you cut it and later when you burn it. In this weather the real beauty of wood fires has become apparent as this is all we have to keep Jack Frost at bay.
It is slightly bizarre that in the middle of this weather we have signed up for work on solar panels. We have discussed the power we will generate from the sun's rays and the gay abandon we might have when we put on the immersion heater while we shiver in the gloaming.
