Due to the cold.
Yep, I thought it was "fresh" yesterday morning but today it's full on winter freeeeeeezing out there. Which I like, sort of. Nothing like walking out of your house and going "Holy shit" as the cold hits you for waking you up.
And of course the train had no heating on it, because obviously it was needed. Yet in the slightly cool and humid bit earlier in the month the heating was always set on kill! I love the trains.....grrrrr.
At the end of our street are two access roads, one on each side of the road, for people in the next street to get to their garages. This morning a cat came trotting out of the one to my left at exactly the same time as a Fox came trotting out of the one to my right.
Mexican standoff time! I almost heard the showdown music from a spaghetti western playing in the background. They stopped, they stared, the cat puffed itself up, the Fox thought "hang on!" then saw me coming and legged it up the road. He was twice the size of the cat as well. And a rather handsome beast too.
Anyway. I gotta get wrapped up and brave the cold to get some milk, so in the words of Captain Oats,
"I'm just going for a walk, I may be some time"
