-3 down in Plymouth, everything in my van is frozen solid!!!!!!

even if I could work the ground temp is -9 so would be pointless.

Done enough this week to cover the wages so will have the day off

I'm not long in after trying to do some local work.  Any water on the ground froze up really quickly, though I was fine working in the sunshine.  In the shade my pencil jets kept on freezing up, which I unfroze with a flask of hot water, and then my pole started freezing up with water that'd splashed on it and wouldn't close.

And then I had enough and went home!  ;D
