The sun came out today and inside the house it was nice and warm. I sat in my chair bathed in sun and decided to go for an early walk before the afternoon clouds started forming.
I put on my jacket and shoes and walked out the door. Brrr, baby it was cold outside. By the time I got to the top of the road my nose was red and dripping.
So I dragged my mask out of my pocket and wore it for the rest of my walk in the wild. My nose turned nice and toasty.
We are supposed to wear masks outdoors but no one does. Up here in the hills the only living beings I saw were the stray cats around the rubbish bins, a few chickens in the olive groves and a goat standing on an old oven dumped in a field . I keep a mask in my pocket, just in case. Came in handy!
I could have done with gloves too.
Those masks are useful for keeping your face warm in winter but not if you suffer from allergies and sneeze a lot. Nothing worse than wearing a wet face mask around the Co-Op aisles.
ReplyDeleteOh no. I have had that problem but not on the supermarket thank god.
DeleteI still have trouble associating Greece with cold!! Good you had your mask to keep your face warm, good idea with the gloves.
ReplyDeleteI was so glad I had the mask. It was nice and sunny again today. Much warmer. No red nose
DeleteI'm hoping you stay warm, do you have a fireplace in your house? We don't have to wear masks outside but indoors in businesses we do.
ReplyDeleteWe have a wood burning stove. Keeps the whole house warm but it does leave sooty walks and curtains for a spring clean
DeleteI suspect that hats, scarves, and gloves will be worn quite often over the next month or so.
ReplyDeleteThis January has been very wet and cold. And there's another freezing snap on its way
DeleteFinally a silver lining for masks lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a good excuse to go and buy some yarn, making mittens, scarfs and maybe a bobble hat
I like making mittens and hats, scarves are a bit boring but a good chance to practice new stitches . A bobble hat. That's a thought
DeleteYou are going to need both pairs this weekend. Your family will be skiing at their own backdoors if the weatherforecast is correct.
ReplyDeleteYes it's definitely colder today. A good many years ago we had snow here. Just enough to make a snowman.
