Winter in Poland

Here is a screenshot of the temperature this morning, in celsius. It went up later in the day to minus 10 degrees, and as I write it has fallen to minus 14 degrees.

Our apartment is cold. We have electric heating, one heater in each of the two rooms, and the heaters, although not great, work satisfactorily, except that the wiring in the building is so old that we can only heat one room at a time. If we turn both  heaters on simultaneously, the fuses blow.

I spend all my time eating and trying to stay warm. I haven’t done much work and I sleep longer than normal.

Here is a video of the river Odra, the river which flows through the city of Wroclaw. I shot it on my phone. As the river comes into the city centre it splits in two. The wider part is iced over, and most of the river’s water is being forced through the smaller part. You can see how fast it’s carrying the ice.
