China dejavu

It’s April. And cold. Winter is unexpectedly long this year. Our heating oil empty. And so is our fire wood. All of that noticed too late (awesome project management). The indoor temperature (11C degrees) is sometimes lower than outdoor (today 16C degrees). Even the dog is shivering. Brrrrr!

The options:

Take a walk outside to warm up.

Go to bed and snuggle into the heat blanket (doesn’t work so good with video work meetings. Lol).

Working dressed in winter coat (like in China not too long ago). My (Chinese) boss knew immediately what was wrong (and laughed). Ha!

I enjoyed negotiating oil prices today (passion for negotiating supplier quotes still available. Lol). Quote accepted but delivery only in 2 weeks.

Fishing out cashmere woolly jumpers from China again.

Hubby digging out Chinese heaters again (Chinese plugs not matching German plug socket though). We shared our Chinese sun instead.

Hubby cutting up Christmas tree (will never complain again that he keeps everything). Fire wood for tonight. Yeah!

Charlie not sharing the front seat.

It’s gonna be an early night with heat blanket! Don’t know how we made 3 Shanghai winters like that! Brrrrrrr!

Hang on, new idea: a weekend in the van with diesel heater (made in China).

Hey, at least the outdoor gastronomy had a guest this week. But where’s snowman’s mask?
