Anyway, we've had a fair bit of snow over the past few days, and sub-zero temperatures.... So yesterday afternoon was perfect timing for the central heating to give up the ghost! The repair man can't get to us until tomorrow afternoon, so it's freezing in most of our house.... in fact I just walked past a herd of pengins in the kitchen, and even they were complaining about the cold.

sorry to hear about the temp drop - especially the indoor one
are you sure about the penguins though?
how big are they?
just judging from the field guides, I'd say you've been invaded by nuns

It's somewhere between -10 and -15C here, judging by the draft from the poorly insulated windows. According to Forecastfox, it's -12C.

Not much snow, just a few centimeters.

Much of it is in my mind, Shanley!
I'm not even sure that penguins come in herds... I think the correct term is 'a trundle of penguins', or is it a 'tuxedo of penguins'?

does it mater lol you had penguins in your house!!!! i think you need to get some better security.... but i'd fix the heater first

Our heat is off today too, but it's only for a few hours. Gas leak in the city lines on the corner.
I did the broken heater thing last winter, though. No fond memories, although I didn't get any penguins. Just a few snowflakes and a cold.
Hope it gets fixed soon, James.

Something really odd is going on at my local pet store.

I went there last week, like I've done dozens of times before, and asked for some frozen mice, about 2 weeks old. I got a bag of mice that were clearly 3 weeks old, I told them that the mice looked older than what I asked for. They did what the clerk did in Monty Python's "parrot sketch". I thought: "Fine, I've got a few 2-week-old ones left, I can afford to play this game. I'll need more 3-week-old mice soon anyway and I bet they'll charge me for 2-week-old mice (which they did)". I was honest about it and tried to correct them, but they were convinced that the bags the mice were in were correctly labelled.

So, today I went back to the store for those 2-week-old mice I didn't buy last time and this time I asked for week-old mice. Sure enough, what I got was 2-week-old mice.

You'd think that they'd notice things like that, the same people have sold me mice before and gotten it right and besides, 3-week-old mice are twice the size of 2-week-old ones.

interesting.... well good for you i suppose.....

i went to petsmart today... and i got really upset... there in this cage ith was like 1/2 of a ten gallon tank with 2 baby ball pythins in it... it had some substrate, one hide and one water bowl no basking spot or anything else.... but that's not even the worse part.... one of the 2 had really bad stuck shed with pieces all over and the water dish was way to small for him even to submerge his head in it..... and even worse than that both of the two were really really thin.... you could see their spines and the ridges that weren't supposed to be visible.... they were active but it really just looked like they were trying to find food and or warmth....... all the rest of the animals were fine.... i mean they were all in small cages but at least they had the necesities..... all except those poor little snakes....
