    Can't be worse than the UK can it? More daylight hours too.

    Today - overcast and rainy but still around 20C
    Last week - bright, sunny, hot, high 20s

    I'm still sitting in shorts & T shirt and dipping in the pool regularly (TMI possibly)

    No idea about the real winter months of Dec-Feb though, this is the first time I've been here outside June-Aug period.

    Very occasionally .... although I'm not sure fandabiedozie is as respected a long word as it should be!

    France or NL for me - both fantastic, for different reasons. High tax & social contributions, but worth it all-round, I reckon.

    Correct

    For general radiation reduction one must use RadAway ideally with Rad Absorption perk
