Californian temperatures? Not really.


It's been a few degrees below freezing for over a week now, but last night was the coldest:-5 degrees C. We found some ice in shallow spots where rain water was trapped. On the picture, taken at 4pm on the deck, the ice hasn't even melted. The funniest part is to observe the level of adaptation of the locals: at the market this morning, there were as many hard core in shorts blowing loudly on their hands to keep warm as people in big winter coats. I even spotted someone shopping in a ski suit!!!

Owl mittens

Little gift I knit for Anastasia for Christmas. Kyan got the same ones in blue.
