Arre firstly, this is an unusually cold spell - all sorts of records being broken. UK -especially London - doesn't get this way at all... minimum temperature is generally 0 -1 or -2 a week maybe all year! We are a dull gloomy rainy place instead!

People in East Coast of USA and Canada, Iceland, Russia - all have it far worse, right? (Even Scotland's worse!)

😔

Secondly, life is very comfortable here. Warm homes from bathroom to hallway. Hot water in ALL taps all year around. All latest windows are 100% sealed tightly shut when closed - where you can't even feel a sliver of air slip through. Warm vehicles, shops, schools. You don't feel the cold indoors. It's ONLY when you step out for a walk that you feel the chill.

That's good 😳

On the other hand, I almost died when I visited Delhi one winter - 😭. It was 5 degrees. No hot water every time you want to wash hands - unless you're ready to wait for geyser for 15 minutes. Cold marble floors. No heaters. Wind howling through closed windows and doors. I was shivering for 5 days morning to night. 😭 Then, I visited Uttaranchal. And it was 0 degree there. Soch! I was like that typically-annoying comedy sidekick in movies - come from London but going 'I'm cold... I'm cold' all the time 🤣
