try cycling in it, at 8AM. Fek me, took me about 20 minutes to get the feeling back to my face! Considering I was doing 15mph most of the way, the wind chill made it even worse  :o

She's a sensible girl (she must be, she stays away from you most of the time :-X :P :D) so she'll take it steady ;) Just hope the other idiots on the M3 are paying attention

Well I am fed up of the cold too here in Southern Spain. Shorts and tee shirt in January but this last week has been freezing cold with a biting wind. If it continues I shall be asking for a refund. ;D ;D

When I woke up this morning it was a balmy -6ºC.. by the time I'd surfaced, showered and thrown a coat on to go and shovel the remaining snow off the shady side of the drive it was a heady -3ºC.

I've given up on the idea of doing the cooling system work on the Omega, it's too damned cold! Supposed to be cloudy and warm (a lovely 5ºC above freezing) tomorrow, so I'll do it then..

-10 here last night, currently -1. Time to get the log stove fired up, but I'm running short of cut wood, so tomorrow when its a bit warmer, I shall be outside, keeping warm by chopping some more and annoying the neighbours with my chainsaw.  :y :y :y
