An interlude of Fool's Spring saw temps soar to near 20/68 yesterday and stick to 15/ 60 sorta, overnight. My house holds cold as it holds heat when either gets in so I went to bed bundled in wool and feathers, and then sweated in the wee hours as, I presume, the heat got in. But today, though grey, was also blowy so I wore a jacket out when I went up to get more wine. At least it wasn't as spring-stinky as yesterday, so I limped down to the Essex school advance poll. This involves passing Fiesta Farms whence the local playwright had just been braving the Only Day This Weekend To Shop!!!! crowds. 'It's like a cocktail party in there,' she groaned. It was like a cocktail party outside as well, people shmoozing all over the sidewalk while parked on their rollators smack dab in the middle. 

However, once past those sidewalk blocks, the polling station was pretty empty and colour-coded as to substations, which is an excellent idea. Pollster thanked me for having my ID ready and this time I remembered to lower my mask so they could check same. Anyway, that's done. 

Temps will drop to 4C/ 39F tonight. Should do a wash and hang in the furnace room because I will need the heat on tonight. Or perhaps not: the warmth has got into the house and won't leave unless the right wind blows from the right direction.
