Default Feel like putting the bike away for the winter.

This weather is nuts. Had the wood burner on yesterday it was so cold here.

Doesn't look like improving any time soon.

It was bloody wet and chilly riding home from your neck of the woods last night!

Glad I took a jumper with me. I've now got my jacket in summer mode (it's a 3 in 1 zip out layer thingymibob) and without the jumper underneath I would have been chattering teeth and doing silly speeds trying to get home ASAP.

When does the Summer begin in these parts?
Any colder and it'll start snowing.

Now that's no way to refer to the Kwak!

Seriously though- it's bloody rotten isn't it? Q has to take the Kwak up for it's first service tomorrow and methinks a nice warm car heater might be requested to accompany her for after we've arrived.

It was lovely on Wednesday night for IAM after at least one forecast banging on about "very heavy rain in the afternoon" for the whole day. Then they said rain for Friday and dry Sat & Sun, but it looks like it'll pee down all weekend.

Tony...mate. I kid you not. I am not being a wimp. I was out all winter riding - even in snow but where I am in Glenlomond the weather is attrocious. We had snow/hailstones on the ground this morning!!! Spent a feckin fortune on bedding plants and m lobelia is dead. The bizzy lizzies are are all brown at the edges.

Took the bike to the end of the drive this morning and could not get out the farm track. Absolute nightmare. Slushy crap till 11 am.

This is not summer weather.
