COLD

 I prefer the cooler weather to the heat we've had over the past few months. It's nice to move without dripping with sweat! But this house isn't built for the cold weather. 

The past week, the temperature has been steadily dropping, hovering around the 20C mark. Outside, in the sun, it feels really nice. Inside, however, it is very cold. This house has no insulation, also there is no sun on any of the windows. So as soon as it gets a little bit cool, inside it is very cold.  It is uncomfortable. I need to save money, so I'm trying to not run heaters. I never thought it would be a choice to eat or heat, but here I am! 

I don't have many winter clothes; the few that I have are rather tatty.  I might have to buy a cardigan at least. I've seen a few online that look nice, but I'm reluctant to buy as getting the right size is difficult, either too big or too small. There aren't any stores near me that cater to larger sizes, so online is my only option!

Yesterday, I went to the other city to teach. We are using the local community centre to teach. It's nice, but there is only one room, so Mikey is at one end, I'm at the other.  I'm not sure what happened, but the girls were making a lot of noise, 1st year junior high school girls, so very giggly.  Christopher, who had come to go to a couple of stores nearby, said that Mikey looked like Snoopy. That started the girls to really laugh. I don't think they did much studying after that, but they enjoyed themselves!

Mikey, does he look like Snoopy?

Without the hat

He really needs to get his hair cut!
