minus 12

The little Google Gadget in the corner of my screen tells me the temperature outside is "minus twelve degrees celsius". I find it hard to believe. I am content to note the positive shewn on the Kodak Photographic thermometre pinned to the wall. The mercury there is steady at the thick line and larger figures (from the turnover time) confirming the equivalence of the 'old' 68F with the 'new' 20C.

In my undergraduate days in this city there was a popular song in the Hit Parade - four different commercial recordings all out and selling well! - "Baby, it's cold outside".

I have no pressing need to emerge and see for myself.
I shall remain in my eyrie.
