    Was very frosty but fortunately dry. Had the waterproofs on this morning and I have cracked too: the temp of the house had dropped to 9°C and the living room was a no go zone. Only the office was slightly warmer and my fingers were not working, so on went the heating, thermo set to 15°C.

    Agree with the pedestrians - stupid schoolie girl yesterday was on the kerb texting and just walked across the road right in front of me. My spider senses were tingling beforehand so I had the brakes covered.

    She did apologise but I said stop bloody texting if you are crossing the road...
