    Hmmm! Methinks you haven’t lived in a Northern hemisphere winter climate, the temperature went down to -8c last night in the shire, we were lucky we are at sea level, other shires had -10c-11c temperatures.
    I have to go out sometime today in the car, I’m not looking forward to driving in this white filth, it’s taking your life in your hands, younger people do not know how to drive in snow and ice, they drive fast thinking their expensive tyres will stop them when breaking.

    The wife has the heating turned up by 2c today, she feels the cold more than I do, men and women are not the same, men are adapted to the cold, we have better circulation, have you ever felt a womans feet or hands in bed on a cold night? I rest my case.

    Men have more circulation, it’s a fact, probably from our hunter gathering days during the ice age in Europe. Having gone to school with Jamaican guys I can attest this is true, white Northern Europeans like myself are better equipped to survive.

    The temperature will start diving again as soon as the sun starts to lower in the sky, the snow will freeze, if more snow arrives tomorrow it’s going to be a bad few weeks.

    A friend sent me this 2 minutes ago of what it’s like in Painswick (Cotswolds) it’s high on the hills surrounding the city where I live. It’ll be colder up there high on the escarpment. (Houses up there are all Cotswold stone not brick like mine)

    21c in the day, 16c at night here.


    My decision to fuck off to Spain 5 years ago increasingly turns out to be such a good call...

    Lawrence "Titus" Oates, (Robert Scotts friend) may well beg to differ.
