-24* is that all?

Huffle woke me and said it was cold. The boys were already up watching TV. I checked the temperature and it was -24* but no colder with the windchill. When I told Small how cold it was he said "Meh, is that all?" I asked him how he would have felt about that temperature a couple of years ago when we were in England. He said "well that was different, since then we have had temperatures in the late -30's and 40's!!" Fair enough! They still went to school very well wrapped up. The both got dressed and put on their tops Moo bought them yesterday and posed for a photograph (their idea not mine).

The house was quiet and empty and I had breakfast by myself and then rushed off to my exercise class. I had my fleecy trousers, downy coat and snowboots over the top of my exercise stuff. ExerciseNic's loft was lovely and warm and we were all soon sweating and grimacing. It was a good workout and I think I will be stiff tomorrow.

Once home I briefly skyped Moo to check on her. She had a good flight that was only delayed slightly. She used her earphones and was very happy with them despite the person in front tipping their seat backwards and making Moo's screen too close!

The rest of my day was spent washing, drying, swiffing, sweeping, mopping, changing beds, knitting and watching the last episode of The Paradise. I made Turkey Burgers, Wholemeal Baps and Hand Cut Chips.

The boys came home, Small had got an A+ in his Social Studies test and was very happy. He went to play at his friends house and Smallest and I drew clocks and told the time. I taught him to tell the time ages ago but he seems to have forgotten and relies solely on Small to get him up in the morning (plus we can con him into going to bed when we want, regardless of the time). He has asked for a clock for his birthday for his room.

Huffle came home and after sorting through all the paperwork needed to renew our Health cards tomorrow, he walked with Smallest to fetch Small from his friends house.

We all had our burgers, baps and chips for dinner. The baps were a bit crusty and I think Paul Hollywood would tell me I hadn't 'proved' them long enough but they were tasty.

Smallest did his homework, Small watched wrestling and Huffle and I played Table Tennis.
