Weather Check

Dark, cold, wet and windy all day but the heat came on today so it was almost comfortable indoors.  Not all my rads are on yet, not sure if there's a problem with my units or whether the central system is operating at a lower capacity.

Compound word......SPACE HEATER!!

Thought about it earlier but figured if the locals could handle it, so could I, especially being a tough canuck.  Since I'm going home next year didn't think it was worth it to buy one.  I am treating myself to an oven next week, figure I'll get quite a bit of use out of it to justify buying one.

Sell/donate to incoming FT..??..

I have no idea. I haven't heard of the movie, and I don't know the name of the area, just where it is. Sorry.

Nine clicks down from here, Jade's request, about "Painted Veil."

Ah.  So.  

 








But I "a capella" much better than "karaoke".

It's snowing in Huludao, Liaoning province, across the bay from Dalian.

It was raining hard in Changchun yesterday.  Ick. It's too cold to put up with rain.  The heat came on 3 days ago.  My apartment went from 15C pre-heat to 16C post-heat.  I immediately went to the market and bought a big, thick comforter for my bed, which I now live under.  Can't wait to see what -30C is does to my apt.

Nicely chilly today in Xi'an, but not freezing.  Crisp in a dull sort of way. Good for reading or chatting with friends.  Rained yesterday. 

I spent one day in Yangzhou (ok 8 hours) and it rained the whole time.

My apartment is on the 3rd floor and the windows look out to tall trees on both sides, so last night I could lie in bed, looking at the branches tossing in the high winds.  The trees lower down were still. Nice to go to sleep to - snug and warm, watching the cold wind work.

If the heat just came on, it takes a few days to a week for the pipes all to get hot and the apartments to get warm.  Hopefully when it is -30 it will be +22 in your apartment. 

Last year it was +24 all winter inside my apartment - almost too hot - but I didn't complain.  Our heat hasn't come on yet and it was +3 today and very windy.  It also snowed for a little while but melted as soon as it landed.

It is entirely possible that if something is not understandable, then it wasn't aimed at you.

It is also entirely possible that large quantities of intoxicants were involved.

Snow everywhere (from monday's fall)... temp didn't get past -8 today.

Beautiful, sunny days in Jinan. Clear skies, not too cold....almost perfect!
