Sometimes the cold can be refreshing.
Its that cold easterly that probably gets to most people, it does me, WIND CHILL is the killer. But having said that, if my hands get cold and wet, particularly when using the ladder, theres nothing to beat warming them up than getting on with the job. You have to go through that burning of the hands stage, I call it the burn, feels like someones hitting you with a hammer; but cold ladder after...............no worries, the circulation sorts it all.
