Cheer yourself up on this very cold day by humming Sammy Cahn's "so delightful" song of the 1940s, Let It Snow. The covering hasn't yet reached the stage where Brigg Blog deems it necessary to grab the camera, tell Mrs F "I am just going out and I may be some time" then record the wintry scenes on Brigg Streets. Such pix in the past have proved popular with Blog visitors now living in countries with hot climates.
Hands up all those in Brigg who'd swap places with them today!

Had to pop to IKEA yesterday to buy a winter quilt for the bed. My summer one is only a 1 TOG (that's ONE) and the winter ones are a 3 TOG.
Captain Lawrence "Titus" Oates has those famous words of "stepping outside and may be sometime" attributed to him circa March 1912. Oh to be back in Blighty, cold weather, frozen pitches, snow, Morecambe and Wise - Bring Me Sunshine!!
Hi Georgie Mafia -
How's Saudi?
When I was in the Middle East, I slept under a single sheet most of the time. (So did the bed-bugs!)
On the odd occasions when I slept outide in the bondo, I had to use a sleeping bag as the nights were relatively chilly. Scorpions were a problem, but one got quite use to them. (size, colour and species were wide)
Snakes in oasis pools, particularly near the jebals (mountains)were especially annoying. A cooling off swim was often accompanied by a snake oscillating about the pool.
Similarly sea-snakes with their strange circular mouths were a dodgy problem in the Gulf
Just a small correction - Wot Capt Oates said was something like, 'I'm going outside for a p.... . I maybe some time.'
As the word, 'p....' was considered quite rude...the saying was clinically improved as not to offend Edwardians.
The following month the 'Titanic' sank, but I think the events were related.
Many contemporary historians now believe Capt Scott was an autocratically poor leader of the expedition - but it wasn't British to say so at the time.
Like the 'Charge of the Light Brigade' - disasters were portrayed as heroic events.
Anyway, Geordie M - send us some sun in a big jiffy bag - in turn, we'll send you some Blighty wind in a balloon.
