Dangerous cold, snow, sleet and rain today. No Mr. Bowie, we can’t go outside. It’s even for a furry four-footer way too dangerous. How can I mentally survive winter? Do people really love winter that much? Can humans survive hibernation in good condition? Hmmm. I guess I’ll stick with espresso.
Enjoy this beautiful day, my friends, wherever you are. Peace, love and understanding.
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
I can almost understand you Lovely Mr. Bowie, you can do the best, “sleep” 🙂 It is same here today, snow, snow, snow… and there is silence of snow… Thank you, have a nice weekend, Love, nia
Hi Nia! Istanbul was on our local news today: snow storm, 40 cm snow…
Have a nice, warm and cosy weekend!
I love winter. And I love summer and all the seasons. I love the change and change in perspective. But for you, even now, the world is turning toward spring. Have some chocolate. 🙂
Did you mention chocolate…?? Now we’re talking! 🙂
Thanks for making me feel better!
I’m with you. Hibernation sounds good. If not that, espresso will do. Poor Mr. Bowie looks so sad, or perhaps just vexed.
Espresso for the humans and treats for our cats! That’s how we can survive this horror… 😉
Poor Mr. Bowie singing the hibernation blues:
“I wanna go out outside
I want to play in some snow
You say there’s too much
Just give me a backhoe…”
He’s looking like he really needs to go outside and play in the snow.
Actually, Mr. Bowie loves to play in the snow but that icy rain makes it too dangerous (well, for me…). Guess he have to join me for espresso and cat treats.
PS: Thanks for the Hibernation Blues!
Kitty skates. Mr Bowie needs a couple pair of kitty skates.
Haha… Thanks for your advice! Let me think about it… 🙂
PS: Maybe I can fix something with the left-over Lego pieces from the Yellow Submarine!
Cold and a little snow on the ground so we are enjoying our day inside where it is warm. Pooh and Chancy are enjoying long winter naps. Pooh never goes outside and Chancy zooms back inside after taking care of business when it is cold. Stay warm and enjoy your day. Hugs and nose kisses
Mr. Bowie loves to go outside in the ‘dry’ snow. But not today due to the extremely difficult weather conditions. So he chose to go in hibernation…
Have a nice weekend, my friends!
Sorry you can’t go outside Mr. Bowie. We are getting snow too.
Well, we wish it was already spring… Don’t love this.
Have a nice, safe and warm weekend!
I’m with you……..espresso and chocolate get me through the winter days – we have snow but just a bit…..just the kind of snow Sam used to enjoy playing in. Gray, cold days – perfect for some of the finer things in life like chocolate!!
Pam
Thank goodness for the espresso and chocolate in our lives…
Hope you’re having a wonderful and warm weekend, Pam!
Inside it’s lovely – outside it’s 22!! Thank heavens for “inside”……enjoy your weekend too Herman…..and Mr. B…..
We had light snow starting yesterday that continued until about two hours ago. Today it’s in the single digits Fahrenheit and a nasty windchill. My brother sent some really good coffee for Christmas and I just made myself a big cup of mocha. I had no mocha powder so I used some squares of nice dark Belgian chocolate. Made me think of you so I had to come see what you and Mr. Bowie were up to. Simba, Cloud and Mi Sun say to tell Mr. Bowie “Stay warm”.
Hi Angela! A big cup of mocha… nice dark Belgian chocolate? Now we’re talking! Who cares about winter and snow?
Mr. Bowie says “Meow!” and sends his regards to Simba, Cloud and Mi Sun!
Oh, you have it now. Snow makes everything difficult, especially with -30°C cold. But every day the spring is nearer, the reason to live. Just sit side by side with Mr.Bowie by the window and enjoy your treats and coffee.
Are you kidding me… -30 degrees!?! I’ll stop complaining about ‘our’ winter! 😉
But you are right, every day is a day closer to spring. Looking forward…
In Northern Finland, Lappland, was _41.7°C, we had only -23.5°C.
It was in our local newspaper yesterday… Hard to believe! I definitely need a hot espresso after reading about these cold temperatures… 😉
Had the cold weather today, but the snow came earlier this week. Just the same, it was a “stay inside and keep cozy” day here as well!
Oh yes, thank goodness we can stay inside in a comfy, warm place.
Have a nice day, Doug!
While you are feeling the cold, we are out on the patio in 28 degC heat! Nice day, the cats have just been brushed and we are enjoying the breeze – and ice cream!
28 degrees Celsius!?! Ice cream… Are you pulling my leg and Mr. Bowie’s paw? Wish we could trade places are join you outside on your patio!
You might not be so keen to trade places when you know that the temps last week were 38-40 degC! Thank goodness for air con…
… and don’t forget the ice cream! 😉
Mr. Bowie, once you’d set your little feet out there in that, you’d soon decide to come back inside. Nobody wants frostbitten ears or feet, whether they’re feline….or human. Espresso, Herman. And I guess we can assume you have plenty of chocolate. Keep cozy.
We will follow your wise advice, my dear friend! Espresso, chocolate and cat treats… I’m already forgetting it’s cold outside.
Hope you’re having a marvellous Sunday!
I am Herman, tho it’s hatefully cold outside here too. Just no snow. Hibernation is good!
Expresso and chocolate Herman, lots of expresso and chocolate….
Now we’re talking! We fully agree! Please, feel free to join us… 🙂
Oh I will!
Aw, such a wistful look Mr Bowie. Never mind, the sun is on the way back to you. In the meantime I’ll send you some of our sunbeams, because we are way too hot down here in CT! 🙂
Thank you for sending your warm sunbeams… much appreciated, my dear friend! Go get yourself some ice cream.
Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
hahaha Yes, Ice is used a lot here in summer . . . Ice cream, ice in wine etc 😀
Woof from Little Monkey 🙂
A beautiful portrait of Mr. Bowie! We had another ice storm here too. Cold outside and good day to stay in! Wishing you both a warm day inside with lots of espresso, dark chocolate and cat treats.
Thank you, Lavinia. Mr. Bowie stayed inside the last three days. This morning, he took a short walk but decided very quickly the sofa was a much better place… Thank goodness the snow is gone for now!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Here we had experienced -34 in the night near Cracow, and in Warsaw it was only about -20 in the night and -12 during a day, although is getting better and warmer right now! I must say snow is very beautiful, dry and I even like winter and winter sports. My fur four- footer doggie is a massive lover of freeze. I’m about to bake some cookies and for tomorrow I will make a dumplings with an apricots. And I will brew coffee in the moment -huge mug with a whole milk added and I add also a small piece of vanilla 🙂
Mr. Bowie, you should receive some treats for your hibernation time 🙂 Cheers on you!
Except from the horror part about the low temperatures, your comment sounds very delicious to me! I think I need another espresso and Mr. Bowie an extra treat!
Please stay warm and enjoy your cookies.
I agree. Inside is the best place to be.
Oh yes! I wish summer would last forever…
Handsome kitty! You lads stay warm indoors .. enjoy that espresso 😃
Thank you, Julie! Feel free to join us for espresso and treats…
Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
Bowie, take it from someone who knows. You don’t want to go outside in this weather. A warm couch or chair is much better!
Well, in the end he chose for a cosy, soft and warm couch! And I joined him with my mandatory espresso…
That was a good plan! 🙂
Stay warm and toasty. Big hugs
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
Thank you so much, my dear friends!
Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
Oh dear Mr. Bowie, stay warm and cozy at home. You don’t want to get your pawsies wet and cold. We have a nice January here, but it is still January 🙂
It remains cold outside… We are looking forward to April, May, June… 😉
Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
❤
Winter Schminter…….survive? Barely. I’m like a Canoe without a paddle in the winter. I don’t go anywhere much. The one thing that helps is the bird feeder and heated bird bath. No matter the weather, I’ll go fill them, so the kitties and I can watch through the window while they enjoy the day. I love listening to their songs too. They’re always cheerful it seems, although I don’t know bird talk. Maybe they’re calling for spring like the rest of us xo boomed
That’s so lovely, Boomdee, you taking care of the poor birds out there! Love the heated bird bath, that’s a wonderful and great idea!
Let’s all be patient and wait for spring…
I’m having trouble surviving the winter even without snow…the lack of light is difficult on the psyche…
I can picture the scene… Thank goodness days get longer in January!
Hello sweet Mr. Bowie 😘
Hi there, Christine! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
He looks so fed up 😊😾
Oh yes! Thank goodness we had 2 warm sunny days this weekend. Mr. Bowie spent hours outside in the garden. Guess he was already working on his tan… 😉
Hello again Herman and Mr. Bowie — been away most of 2016 and finally found you again today. Happy you are still here, enjoying espresso, chocolate and books on snowy, icy nasty winter days. Warm furry wishes to you both, Alia
Hi Alia! Thank you for following us all this time. Much appreciated!
Wishing you all the best! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
Please reply “Meow” to my furry Friend. I’ve missed you both.
Consider it done, my friend!
