Yeah, last forecast I saw was saying -6 after wind chill tomorrow....Fingers crossed this time next week it'll be nice enough to enjoy a day out on the bike again, I was too busy Tuesday, the one day it hit a crazy hi of 17C, perfect for getting out on the bikes grrrrr

I'm back at work tomorrow, and we're supposed to be working outside, but that will depend on the weather

Its even nicer now, and the sun was warming up my car as I drove to Ipswich this morning. First time in ages

Beast part 2 is only meant to last no later than Monday, then it can feck off and let spring arrive

Feck me, it's cold on the east coast today, high winds making the wind chill factor worse, not much snow thank goodness.

But after yesterday's mini heatwave of near double digit temperatures, it can bugger off back to putinland

I recently bought a replacement for my dying Impreza (another one) at a very good price. When I looked at the service history I found out why the price was so good; the cambelt was 10,000 miles overdue to be changed. That's nearly £600 I'll never see again.
