brightlywoven: Pickwick the dodo, one of a kind, hand made by my stepmum (fire)

a mite chilly this morning.

Well, actually, it was below freezing, and it became one of those times it is made apparent to me I am living in a different country (not in a transported bubble of normality as I sometimes think). It looked frosty outside, so I cleverly remembered to take a big bottle of warmish water on the 5 minute trek to where my car is parked. Poured said water over frosted windshield and windows. Said water turned into a (thicker) layer of ice.

I ended up resorting to running the engine and heater while defrosting the glass with my hands, which were (ever so slightly) above freezing, until I could actually see.

I can envisage I'm going to have to invest in some sort of squidgee-scraper thingummy.

You drive in Britain and don't have a scraper? That's... brave.

We had snow today in Freiburg, though it's not lying in the city.

Brave? Thank you Humphrey! Thing is, this is my first November in England, and I only bought the car in July. I'll learn fast, I think
