First frost

December 20th.  First frost of the season outside.

But still comfortable.  High pressure and no wind, no need for the winter duvet, nor for a winter-weight pullover.  And the day is dawning bright and clear: in a minute I’ll have to put down the venetian blind to defend against the glare of the sun.  And the CRT monitor, which I still have in mind as a potential source of winter warmth in case of cold, remains unused and gathering dust.
