Hope everyone made it to work OK
 
As above, it was -3 here and we're almost always warmer than the rest of the UK due to the surrounding water...

Almost got rear ended by a **** going too fast downhill on a notoriously slippery road, he skidded a good metre into the junction i had just turned out of, missing me by a few feet only - thank feck i was in the car:mad:

I have two motorcycles. The winter hack that refuses to start. And the SV which will only start once a day.

It was -7 when I got in the car this morning.

I am still in bed, but then I start work at two and am in there until eight tonight. Yesterday was lovely mid afternoon, so I went for a ride, but it soon got so cold that I had to pop in to a friends for a hot drink. Was riding for close to half an hour before my hands started with the cold aches.

For those of you who have to commute on your bikes, my heart goes out to you. Be careful and take care.

Hugs,

Jayne
