It got so cold last Friday / Saturday night that I wondered if putting the valves outside might give them a start on cryogenic treatment!

According to the car it reached a balmy 12 Celcius on the sunny South Coast today. For some reason my suggestion for turning off the heating now that Spring is upon us didn't get a warm reception. Pun intended.

Yes, when I left the house to cycle to work this morning at 5.45 in my Lycra (I am a keen club cyclist) I was wishing I'd put more layers on. I don't usually feel the cold that much, and cycled in in just shorts, jersey and arm warmers... But this morning was an exception. I had a head wind too, so the snow was blowing into my eyes. Nice.
