Little bit slower week behind at farm. Weather started to change slowly and Thursday and Friday we have only - 10 celsius, yet it always comes with downsides. When weather gets warmer, wind comes harder and normally with snowing. Well that's winter.
Days are getting longer slowly, not that you could really notice the difference when you are here. Last week when we had - 30 celsius outside, temperature in house dropped close to +15 celsius. Luckily we have 3 fireplaces and heating two of those daily we went slowly up and now it's 21 celsius inside.
Why inner temp went down? We didn't heat fireplaces for two weeks during Christmas - New year, and with same logic as their warm... those will cool also. So those turned huge cooling element and took few days to stabilize, and turn them back as heating element. That is mistake which is too easy to make when it's warm outside and heating pump is easily enough to warm house.
Days and weeks flies, still it is January. I don't get how January last like 6 months. We are no in mid January and it feels like being living this year for two months.
This month has been like watching satire movie. Everything what's happening in world seems like bad movie script, Venezuela, Greenland, USA especially Minneapolis, Iran, Israel. Great part of this is that if aliens are planning to attack earth, they will cancel they plans and just wait that we destroy humanity by ourselves. On other hand if they attack, target will be USA as it is always in movies. And Russian's 3 day special operation has lasted longer than their participation in WW2. Operation which should never started at all.
January never ending month.
Have a nice weekend.
