    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

    Oddly enough I knew that.

    Now, may I innerest you in some Cobalt Thorium G?

    Looking on the bright side, being the age I am I've got a fair amount of Strontium 90 in my bones from all those nice atmospheric tests back in the day

    Legalised theft is by definition a contradiction. But yes you run off you the Arabian paradise.
