It's been getting pretty cold - as I write this, it's the warmest part of the day at 5pm and it's currently 6 degrees with an apparent temperature around 4 degrees. Stephen's braving the cold to go out for a run in his t-shirt and shorts - we really need to get him some winter running gear.
At around lunchtime, we went for a walk - we were planning to walk to a Farmer's Market about 5km away, but our walk was interrupted when it started snowing!!!!
Look, real snow!
Walking through the park - ski jackets are becoming more and more useful as they're both warm and waterproof. Jumper/hoodie underneath is necessary too. Needless to say, we decided to skip the Farmer's Market and instead went to a local cafe for a hot chocolate, before heading to the supermarket which was a bit closer :)
Check out my new winter boots! They're good down to -40 degrees! No coats yet, but we're working on it.
In other news, the pizza here is incredibly good. However, we ordered pizza the other day, and I thought I'd order an extra-large as a joke - the joke was quickly on me when we received said pizza.
That's a normal sized dinner plate next to it - the pizza is 45cm (18 inches) across. Turns out that an Australian large pizza is equivalent to a small or a medium pizza here depending on the chain. We normally order 1 Australian large pizza for the two of us for dinner - this Canadian extra-large took us 3 days to finish. Carrying it home was a pretty good weights training session for me too.
