Much colder than this year, wasn't it?

These are lovely, Leffe ... and how many times have I run out all undressed, to take a picture!

Agneta Muhr # 24. October 2009, 01:16

I think we all runs out undressed and stops our cars at impossible places to get the shot we want! It is an obsession!

Great photos Leffe, as usual! We have had -5 degrees C For a while nighttime here, but I heard you have a little moore grey weater right now!

Here the mornings have been foggy lately, so I have to admire your wonderful morning sky instead of looking out of the window. Your photos are really beautiful.

dW Thank you very much Yes it was much colder and the very damp weather came back in late November. Here it is now very damp and the fog does not leave. I am longing for some cold clear mornings and days.

Agneta Thank you very much yes here it is grey right now and we have to keep our light on during the day a sleepy grey day.

nofrid Thank you very much I am longing for these mornings that will make a crispy sound when you walk. They will come any day.

These are really beautiful pictures, I wish mine were as good !! I can feel the warmth of the wood fire from across the North Sea.

Thank you so much Antonietta

Cynthia # 26. October 2009, 14:48

Wonderful!! Your photos show the cold weather, but each picture generates warmth for the mind. Really so lovely, MrLeffe!!

der Wandersmann # 26. October 2009, 14:53

Male again, eh, Leffe?

LOLOLOL

Anna # 26. October 2009, 15:04

Yeah, splendid pictures, Leffe... Very beautiful frozen moments. I don't like winter much as you can remember

and I'm just returned from the place where the temperature is +15+18 C at the moment to my town where we are having a snowstorm now and -10 C... brrrrrrr To tell the truth I was rather distressed by all these weather changes... until I had a look at your pictures and they cried to me "Anna, winter can be beautiful and fabulous!!! Stop mourning, grab your cam and go-go-go outdoors and shoot-shoot-shoot!" Thank you, my dear snowy friend!

der Wandersmann # 26. October 2009, 15:14

Да!

MrLeffe # 26. October 2009, 15:44

Cynthia I am so happy to see you here. Thank you so very much

Now I have to think about Mr

Anna it is nice to see you back here I have missed you so much
Yes please share the hard winter by beautiful pictures.When you are back inside a nice warm drink to keep you warm

Anna # 26. October 2009, 16:46

You are so right, dear Leffe! To overcome a half-year winter we should be armed with a good deal of optimism and mulled wine

MrLeffe # 26. October 2009, 17:44

Soon I will have my first taste of hot wine

der Wandersmann # 26. October 2009, 21:00

Ever?

Jacco Besseling # 26. October 2009, 21:09

Looks like it was cold.

I remember it was here in the Netherlands. Great pictures!

MrLeffe # 26. October 2009, 21:14

dW I cant say ever hot wine at this time of the year is a kind of habit We call it Glögg

Finglofin Thank you it was biting cold.

der Wandersmann # 27. October 2009, 04:06

Oh, yes! I've had something similar, though I can't say that it was glögg.

Anna # 27. October 2009, 04:24

DW, cheers!

I've caught a bad cold as soon as I reached my town

So my "favourite" drink these days is hot milk with butter and honey

Anyway it helps me to avoid any medicines.

der Wandersmann # 27. October 2009, 05:29

Ah ... mine was equal parts whiskey and honey, with a few drops of lemon juice. It's a wonderful cough medication.

Nowadays, though, I never seem to get sick, and being a diabetic, I think I would avoid the honey.

Anna # 27. October 2009, 06:58

It happens to me very rare when I get sick, too. I guess the climate change is the cause for my present disease.

MrLeffe # 27. October 2009, 08:00

dW that did sound really good I will try it. In you case honey is not so good. One can always say just in case of the ....
but not too often.

I got the vaccin for not getting ill the other day I will take
my hot drink as a painkiller:D

der Wandersmann # 27. October 2009, 15:27

Hot apple cider, with spices (cloves, cinnamon, etc.) is good, too.

It is VERY good. If you care for it, a bit of sugar isn't bad in it. Honey will do ... it has a nice "sharp" quality that makes the taste of the cider much more fruity.

As I have discovered, being diabetic is not the end of sugars in one's diet. One must simply be careful with amounts and with timing ... one must have time to "burn it up" before going on to something else. I try to confine my sugars to morning or early afternoon. The thing is, that almost any vegetable matter has sugar-type carbohydrates in it ... the idea is to eat complex carbs, rather than simple ones, like sugars. "Unrefined" would perhaps be a better word.

And as an emergency measure, I have found a good stiff drink of whiskey to be most beneficial in lowering blood glucose quickly. It seems to act as an igniter, if I may use the word, and helps to burn up the simple carbs even though it's a simple carb itself. And it tastes good ... LOL.

My husband is a diabetic too. A small amount from time till time is no danger but he is cutting out all bread potatoes rice pasta instead we do eat a lot of other vegetables and it goes fine.He is without injection of insulin so that is nice. Basicly we do eat a bit differently and it helps.

In the wiskey I do belive It is also nice to drink.
