    -3 today when cycling in. Plus I was cycling into the wind - it felt like a knife cutting through me.

New South Wales and Western Australia recorded maximum temperatures 0.74 and 1.51 °C below average, respectively. For Western Australia it was the third coolest January on record.

    It is jolly nippy out there. The slight wind makes a big difference.

    I can think of only one industry where being rock hard helps to solve clientco problems.

    FFS, you get up at 5am and you don't call it bad?

    I hope they are paying you good money in that place you work for

    Got a pair of booties from the sport schuster a couple of months ago 'made in Germany' it reads.

    Wifey just brought me a hot water bottle. Toasty feet = happy feet.
