Good morning early birds!

It's an icy Sunday. Only a dusting of snow here, but the ice could be a problem. Never mind, it's mid winter on Tuesday!

Have a happy day everyone.

-7C in Whitley Bay, cold as f***, but still no snow! Yippee!

[waterboatman]

Morning mike. The temperature is about the same here. Not quite shirtsleeve weather!

Morning wbm and mike. Just very cold and icy here in Hastings but not snow, thank goodness.

[waterboatman]

Morning jan. I think it's much the same nationwide, apart from a lot of snow here and there!

[mike11111]

If it gets up to -6C I think I'll strip off and sunbathe in the back garden.

[waterboatman]

Be warm enough won't it! :-}

We Geordies are made of sterner stuff. -:)

It's all that Newcastle Brown Ale. Good stuff!

Show 'em you're nuts Mike. :-)

[mike11111]

I can cope with that. However, had you typed 'your' instead of 'you're' I may well have hesitated.

She can be a saucy minx can our jan :-}

[Jan1957]

I did think about it. :-)

Not sure if this will work but I love to hear these animal stories.

Can't get out of my road. I'm on a slight hill and the road is sheet ice. It's fffffreezing!

Morning tiger and bet.

You ain't wrong there tiger. It's decidedly nippy!

Where have you been bet?

[365058bet]

going to bed later and getting up later wbm,,,,, by the time i get on line you have gone

[tigerlelly]

Morning wbm. I'm not really complaining as it gets me out of having to visit the rellies. I'm going to curl up in front of the fire with a good book instead - bliss.

[waterboatman]

That'll explain it. I'm usually away by about 8 at the latest. Nice to see you. :-}
