SOMETHING BIG

 

Yesterday I went out looking for some really thick, warm pants to wear to markets.  There's at least 3 more really cold markets to endure.

I didn't find any pants.  So I'm back to thinking of getting a sleeping bag, a really good quality one.  So later on today I might go out to find one.

Fingers crossed I find something, cos our next market is this coming Saturday.  And the temperatures in the morning right now are ZERO DEGREES.  

Also yesterday, I bought some earphones for my phone... but I can't get them to work.  So that's something else I want to sort out today.  I shall take them back to the store and ask them to show me how to get them to connect to me phone.  Lacy tried making them work last night.  She got them to connect to my laptop, but not my phone.  

There is one more thing on the agenda today.  But that is a 'not gunna tell ya' one.  You will just have to wait and see.

It could be this morning, or sometime after lunch.  

Catch ya later.


Audrey:  I did buy thermal long johns and polar neck tops.... and when I wear THREE polar tops under my jacket I am warm up top ... it does not work for my legs!
And wearing three pairs of thermals under your 'normal' winter clothes makes moving VERY HARD!  
That is why I'm thinking of a sleeping bag to actually climb into, and unzip when I need to stand up and move.

ANON AND PAULA:  I will go to The Warehouse and Mountain Warehouse today.  I asked at Kathmandu yesterday about ski pants, and the bloke there said they don't actually keep you WARM, they just keep you dry.

But, I will persevere, as I really need something fast. There is NOTHING worse than being at a winter market for 6.5 hours and BEING FREEZING.  I literally get home chilled to the bone. It can't be good for you surely?

  2. Re the warm pants for the markets, have you thought about visiting a ski shop for some ski overalls or snowpants? Very warm! Try Mountain Warehouse if you haven't already

    I thought you bought thermal underwear to wear under trousers last winter. Audrey

    Thermal top and bottoms will keep you warm or warehouse have warm fluffy lined leggings. They're too warm for me sometimes.

    Sleeping bag is a great idea as you mainly sit at markets so no clothing will keep you comfortable. Marjorie in Canada
