Wednesday morning is the day we usually do our food shopping each week. We had recently heard about a new vegetable shop opening up so we popped in to have a look. To our surprise their produce was fairly limited and a bit overpriced. Inside the building was freezing cold, I felt sorry for the staff there but to be fair we've had temperatures down to 0 degrees at night which is why before we go to bed we put a couple of decent sized logs on the fire in our lounge so when we get up in the morning there's usually a few ashes left to restart it. We are waiting for snow to fall on the mountains around town. Across the road in this photo is one of the local petrol stations.
Linking up with Blue Monday and Mosaic Monday.

...wow, you do get cold!
I have heard the cost-of-living way above what is happening in Australia. Hope the new store offers a better saving.
Does look cold and deserted!
Pity about the veg shop. Hope it improves.
0 degree C and snow? I´m so glad it´s Summer in here. Nice street panorama btw.
We noticed how expensive (and limited) veg were when we were out there. NZ garlic was $59 per kilo! Seriously?!
You're having very low temperatures. Good thing you can have a fire all day, and night
I like that view.
It's a sad fact that 'private' vegetable stores can rarely compete on price with supermarkets.
When I was a kid we lived up in the White Mountains of Arizona. The fireplace was the only heat in the house and dad did what he called "banking" the fire. He would cover the hot coals with ashes and the coals would stay hot until the morning when he would get the fire going again.
That's pretty cold night temps. Too bad the veggie place is not cheaper and offer more options.
Brrr!
So glad it's perpetually summer here!
Hugs and blessings, Amy
Here we have 30° C on the moment. A bit to hot for my taste.
You got the red too - 2 in 1 #BlueMonday
Oh, you have cold degrees. We are happy with summer here.
