Been very slack of late with posting on here, although the lovely Sarah has done a good job in my absence.
Not much has really been happening to be honest, the sub arctic temperatures make it impossible to spend more than 5 mins outdoors without getting severe frostbite to the face and anywhere else thats exposed!
Last week and this week we have had some pretty badass temps, even by Toronto Standards. We have been lucky to break into single digit minus temps, most days being around -15 to -20. When you factor in windchill we are talking temps of -25 to -30. Its even colder than it sounds. I always watch breakfast news to prepare me for the commute ahead.
I couldn't actually give a rats ass about what they are talking about.
All I care about is that bottom left hand corner.
That is a bad start to a day if ever I have seen one! To top it off our pipes froze in the kitchen so we had to get all our water from the bathroom, and to complete the trifecta, there was a blackout in our part of the city that left us without power for 18 hrs.
18hrs might not sound too bad, except we had no heating, no hot water and it was -22 outside. I felt like I was camping in antartica! I have never been so cold. The newspapers actually recomended we go to a shelter, but we just decided to wait it out at the pub.
The only other attempt at braving the elements was when we visited the Dakota tavern, Torontos best country bar, for their "Bluegrass Brunch". This is exactly what the name suggests, a tasty breaky enjoyed while listening to the sweet sounds of duelling Banjos!
Hope everyone enjoys their Long weekend, we will be partying Monday. Its going to be -18, so don't complain about the heat!
