They're softy southerners pretending to be Geordie lasses, real ones would be wearing bikinis in sultry weather like that. So says the Geordie who refused to go outside all weekend as our house was surrounded by snowdrifts.

It's horrid here. It's raining so the ground just looks wet, but underneath is a thin layer of ice which is totally invisible, and super-lubricated by the water on top.

Well as my post suggests I was looking more at the funbags than the headgear :-P

Pissed off.

Winter bites back, fell on the ice yesterday just outside the house and broke a rib. Can't drive so taxi's to work but maybe not tomorrow with the sub Zero temps forecast possibly as low as -15.

Carry on

The low tonight here is forecast -2 and tomorrow -2.

But it will be cold on top of some Scottish mountain I'm sure....
