Sod that!

Supposed to widespread snow down here on thursday.
At least that's a chance for another 2 good days first.
Shouldn't matter then, and I can just enjoy it!

When someone says to me, 'It's a bit 'nippy' today', I always suspect they're taking the mick out of me and my Japanese heritage!

Well, are you, Mr Steve K?  (You will have noticed I've stopped making fun out of the Scousers, for fear of retribution from you).

 ;D

Anyway, it's been lovely here in South East Wales, (apart from the Welsh mind you).  It was a little bit 'chilly' first thing this morning, and I was worried that my water might freeze on the highstreet; and I didn't have salt with me; but then it turned quite sunny and I've spent most of today just wearing a t-shirt and a polo shirt.

Class!

Yesterday, it was warmer where i am that i was working in a t-shirt nearly all day.
Not as warm today but managed the t-shirt till just after lunchtime.

It has started to drizzle now so expecting a frozen van tomorrow if the temp drops like they say it will.

  I was in peterboro today, started at 7am and the water was still freezing on the glass at 10am, my hoses and poles were ok as I have a heater in my van at night, so I just carried on regardless.

Still snow & ice in Herts so couldnt work although all the snow was down I went to my 1st job & the customer said 'no way'. It was an all day job so just got back in car & came home. Started raining at about 3 so snow should be gone soon.

Steve,

I hope you drop the cheeky-monkey-of-a-customer, regardless if it's a big job or not.

Don't tell 'em though; keep them waiting. ;D
