Its christmas day here and looking to be a rather warm one

[Agent0013]

Had a hard freeze last night that froze the feed water pipes to the entire line of campers. Those pipes are not as deep in the ground as they are supposed to be, only about six inches. I suspect we will see where the break in the line is when they thaw, but when that will be is questionable. So had to go to the nearby public restroom to fill some gallon jugs with water. We won't be cooking or drinking that water, but we can wash hands and dishes with it. Gotta go later to fill more jugs, so that we will have six jugs full. If we keep them filled, we should be OK.
Was barely able to sleep last night, as our little space heater could not handle the low teen temperatures. Bundled up in several blankets, three pairs of long pants, three shirts, my insulated hoodie, and my double thick beanie. Even with all of that, the cold got to my feet; making them feel like two big blocks of ice, even though I wore my shoes and socks. Not supposed to be as cold tonight according to the weather forecast, but we all know how inexact that can be.
On top of those troubles, my bladder kept me running to the bathroom all night.
I'm OK for now, but I worried that our cats would not fair so well. We and they survived it though. I would not want either of our cats to catch the distemper. Had one three years ago that passed because of it.
While the temperature here outside is tolerable, we are still having trouble getting that to be the case inside our camper trailer. These things are not insulated much at all, and our power system leaves a lot to be desired. more than half of it is not working at all, so we have to improvise to have enough power to live at least a little comfortably. Now with no running water, we are struggling, and we still need to be able to cook our Christmas Dinner.
What a bad time for the weather we are having!

Good morning! And pre-Merry Christmas! 
I won't stay as longer as I do the afternoons of weekends, like we have to prepare the dinner. And you won't see me my tonight, nor the next 2 others, because it's trilogy time for celebrations.

I didn't tell you, but yesterday Puce accepted to have the head of Nenya on her a good part of the afternoon. She even accepted he washed her and she didn't flee, because he stopped 'before it's too late'.
Then when sunset came, Puce decided to go on a chair. And when I looked at her, Harmonie was near Puce on the chair and even partially on Puce. They stayed a long moment like that.
They still were that way when the firework (despite the rain of the afternoon) started, at 7PM. I hoped the hill between the square and us, more the distance, would help to crush the noise. Not at all, it was even worse than when they do a firework from the ruins of the castle! Like if the firework was almost at the bottom of our building. Puce didn't care, she saw and heard enough fireworks in her life. Babies were a little upset, but Harmonie trusted Puce and stayed with her. Puce was enough kind to wait the end of the firework before to leave the chair. Nenya was between fear and interest for the noise. I wasn't able to show him, the noise passing above the hill but not the firework itself. He passed the next 10 minutes in his Mom's arms and that was perfect for him.
Today, Puce doesn't pass her afternoon with them and they were disappointed when they saw her leaving the room. Harmonie tried to attract attention for she came back

Morning Park. Very much so was only a few years ago we were 91 on Christmas lol. Only running I am doing today is laundry and then holing up the rest of the weekend. Spending it avoiding the people who think the candle smells like a Fireball vs cinnamon.


Sorry for your loss Agent.

12 hours later and I'm looking for coffee. Take care out there doing your last minute running around. Everyone appears in a deep freeze.

Thanks for the card TL. I like them.
