If you write to Germaine Greer and ask nicely, she might let you have her knitting pattern for a **** sock, complete with pouch. :P

i felt very smug. i fitted by bar muffs on sat.. and although they look liek giant ears they worked very well.. they were covered in a thick frost all the way into work.

gone for the heated grips, winter gloves and bar muffs. although i find the bar muffs actually make it a little bit hard to get hold of the brake lever, so will need to get the hang of that.

Finished teaching on Friday. That was the worst day of coldness I can ever remember. Just spent £35 on some gloves the day before and I swear army standard issue are better. I got them off and my hands were a nice blue'y/red.

I don't know what you're all complaining about!

I woke up naked at 5:30 this morning lying on top of the covers with the ceiling fan on (my lovely lady was in a similar state on the bed next to me :P ).

Temp was about 20 degrees C. and the sky was a bit overcast which just made the ride to work at 6:30am all the more plesant.

It's 1:30pm now and the sky is starting to clear so I would say it will be a sticky humid 29 C ride home.

Then again Brisbane is semi tropical and in the southern hemisphere so I guess things won't be quite the same as you guys up there.

I would love to visit the UK & Europe sometime but I think I might have to pick my timing to make sure I don't freeze some important (to me at least) parts of my anatomy off!

I sounds horrible up there. Make sure you guys all ride safe, I have enjoyed lurking here over the past few month getting to know you all.

Bye from sunny (most of the time) Queensland!
