Warming up here over the next few days. It’s been blisteringly cold here over the last couple of days.
-5.5 locally at RAF Benson.
Yep, bit of a nip in the air this morning.
I’ve had to jump start the car this week due to the cold and also the battery is end of life. Replacement to get fitted today. £210 to replace cos it’s a start/stop ffs. A function I never use.

Not warm outside. Lord Boots was not slow coming in earlier! Don’t blame him!
Amp keeps things toasty during the day.
Seems he has fixed the boiler problem,now the programmer panel has died since yesterday ffs
Our electric wheelbarrow wouldn’t go yesterday morning (too cold). Had to resort to human power (mine) to pick up rock hard donkey poo.
Sure sign its cold when you stub your toe and trip over dog and donkey poo.
Beauty with rock hard poo is that it’s easier to get a fair distance when lobbing it over neighbours gardens. I can usually get it into gardens 5 or 6 houses away ![]()
This is one of the reasons I was put off getting a donkey
dog stopped eating horse and dog shit but went to town this morning when it was frozen
problem is when he eats horse/dog shit his farts fucking stink and I mean really fucking monumentally fucking reek.
FWIW I have a pair of these surgically attached during the colder months.
I didn’t use to feel the cold much, but the last couple of years as I’ve got older and slower… ![]()

Getting a stall down ‘The Lane’ ?
(East Street market in Walworth was always called ‘Der-lane’ when I worked in Camberwell)
That would be an Olympic feat from here. I don’t take enough Special Protein Drinks/Steroids.
Don’t fight it, feel it
30mph winds with 50mph gusts apparently.
Walked the dog and those gusts seem pretty much perpetual. With the pissing rain the waterproof jacket and trousers got a thoroughly good test this evening.
