Today was the first real cold snap of winter 2023-24. I have been preparing for this day since April when I chose the type of canvas to act as shelter for our humble home. It is so cold here right now my thermometers don’t even record that low…I need new thermometers, clearly these are not as tough as I, ha!
I love experiencing extreme weather, because there is literally nothing you can do to change the weather. So it pushes you to see just what kind of extremes you can handle. Feeling my breath freeze to my beard and mustache, the cold brisk air enters my lungs. It makes me feel truly alive. It is like nothing else.
I’m cozy inside the Yurt at +20C. I love my home.
Now I just have to convince myself to leave in the morning for work.
I hope you all have a wonderful day, stay warm. Stay safe. Be strong.
