tiny amounts of very dainty snow. It’s pretty.

the temperature is due to plummet further tonight though and also not getting warm enough to breathe the next day.

already bubble-wrapped the exterior tap (where the stopcock in the kitchen wouldn't let me turn it off any more the last few times I tried) in the hope of preventing it from freezing.

also be trying to get the convector heater going again for tonight, to centrally heat the house a bit.

good luck.
