The good thing about cold weather and runaway electricity prices is that it is cheaper to lit a fire in your open fireplace and enjoy the wonderful radiation heat from burning wood, than any kind of electric heating (including heat pump based). When temperature in my place dropped to -16 to -17C (around 3F to 1F) I loved it, giving me a good excuse for curling up in front of the fireplace. (Other parts of Norway has seen much lower temperatures; my town is by the sea, so it doesn't get that cold.)
(This winter, electricity prices are up to ten times of what we are accustomed to. The majority of Norwegian homes are heated by electricity, either directly or through head pumps.)

Not belated at all - the real New Year took place at 16:17 GMT on the fourth of January this year, when our home planet reached perihelion in its orbit around the sun, thus starting a new year!
Contrary? Moi?
Anyway, happy new year to all those on CP, whenever you celebrate it.

A happy new year to you from Israel.
I trust that you've laid in plenty of winter supplies for the hamsters (and yourself...). With the news out of China, I doubt that we've seen the end of this.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I'd never have thought of Sis for short girl - short sibling yes but that would have given it away

I know it only as a short for sister.

And "sister" is a term used by girls to describe other girls: "Sisters are doin' it for themselves[^]" for example.
