-12 in Fethiye will mean -20 here up the mountain in Ovacik. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if it snowed. It already has up here once about a week or so ago.

Anti freeze in the solar panels? Bloody hell. Them panels on the roof? Bloody hell.

You definitely need anti-freeze in solar panels in Ovacik. It'll cost you if you don't have it.

I'm not saving it's cold in Kava but my brass monkey has been rendered incomplete.  :)  :)

I've got my thermal undies on today for our walk along the Kordan. ;D ;D

Minus 1.2 at present here in sunny/moonlit Uzumlu.  But its blowing a hoolie so the wind chill will be taking it a lot lower than that.  Central heating is working well and the electric blanket is on...... ;D ;D ;D

Ended up being something of a farce, Colwyn.

Hired the lovely Kadir to put the anti-freeze in. Whilst he was fetching a wrench to unscrew the cap on the panel, he left the roof hatch open and a bird got into the house onto the top floor. Discovered this when youngest son went to use bathroom and it flew into his face.

Cue Kadir and I coaxing the sparrow out from under a bed, then chasing it around the room whilst trying to throw a scarf over it to catch it. Eventually caught and as I carried it carefully to the window, it struggled to escape, I panicked thinking I was going to let go and managed to crack my head on the very low door jamb of the doorway that was designed clearly for a Hobbit house.

Bird escaped. I had huge lump on top of my head. Kadir nearly crying with remorse and empathy pains (or laughter, I wasn't sure). Husband tut-tutting and suggesting hospital, big 6'7" son too scared to go up to his room in case the bird 'got him again'.

Caught bird again. Swore at it profusely. Let it out of window. Sat with bag of ice on head. Kadir stayed for dinner, re-lived the head cracking incident several times and at intervals repeatedly told my husband that he had, 'Hard wife with strong head. Should be very proud'. Husband distinctly unimpressed.

This morning went out of door to bring in firewood and got dripped on from something leaking on the roof ...... 'KADIR!'  *




* By that I don't mean it was actually Kadir leaking from the roof. But perhaps a burst water tank. Will find out later when he investigates.

I have just braved the balcony and the barometer reads -2C. It feels like -22C.
