      Too cold 😛 I am surprised Alex hasn’t turned into a snow man yet!

      Sometimes if I stand outside for too long, I do start feeling like a snowman 🙂

      The temperature varies with the year, like it does in the UK, but opposite. Right now, it’s the hottest time of the year, and today was -5°C, which we consider to be pretty warm! In our the winter, which is in June/July, it gets down to below -50°C – now that’s cold! And then there’s wind and it’s all dark! Outside isn’t a nice place to be in that situation!!
