no fires

It's been cold and rainy here in HK the last few days.
The weather forecast for today is as follows:
Very cold and cloudy. A few rain patches in the morning. Moderate north to northeasterly winds.
Outlook : Remaining cold in the next few days. Brighter close to the weekend with temperatures slightly rising.

It is so cold that our government has issued a warning.
A Cold Weather Warning that makes me giggle a bit:

The Cold Weather Warning is now in force.Cold weather is
expected in Hong Kong today.

People are advised to put on warm clothes and to avoid
adverse health effects due to the cold weather. You must
also ensure adequate indoor ventilation.

If you must go out, please avoid prolonged exposure to
wintry winds.

If you know of elderly persons or persons with chronic
medical conditions staying alone, please call or visit them
occasionally to check if they need any assistance.

Make sure heaters are safe before use, and place them away
from any combustibles. Do not light fires indoors as a means
to keep warm.

The office is freezing at the moment and a fire actually doesn't sound like such a bad idea... ;)
