Title: Fed up with the cold
Post by: ftp on February 09, 2010, 08:05:03 am: After four hours yesterday I came home and stood in a hot shower for nearly half an hour to get warm again. Doesn't seem to matter how many thermal tops I'm layered up with I'm still bloomin cold.
Problem is by compacting my round I don't get the chance to warm up between jobs in the van any more. Really want to be warm again. Ordered some new shorts yesterday too. :-\

A hat is important too.
It's 2 degrees here today, and windy.

I don't mind the cold, been doing this for 7 years, but the strong wind is a problem. Due to do a block of flats by the sea today. Don't think I can! ::)

It'll pass ftp! February is always a depressing month; its like Winter feels like it lasts for ever. So chin up and next month it'll start raining and that normally lasts up till October when Winter kicks in again.

Oh Tosh, your're such a comfort! :(

Yes but Matt that's alright indoors but it's when you work outside that you feel the cold. ;)

Saw someone canvassing your areas yesterday. Nice flyers too.
