Misunderstood.
I meant I don't have to pay air fare and a fancy hotel!

Yeah, me neither! My DH picks up the tab when we are going to Mexico. And if we are going to NW Florida, we can stay with family for free and they usually buy seafood because they want me to cook it for them. I don't mind!

I've spent the day wearing woolly socks. It was 31°C outside.

Windchill was 2F/-17C this morning and I stepped outside in my bare feet to see if the sidewalk was slippery (it was not).

The bike valeter wanted to come anyway
I’ve kept him dosed up on tea and hot chocolate but he still looks slightly blue

Snowing here in Kent. But apparently it will all be gone in the morning. Maybe not gone for you though Lullabelle and The Velvet Curtain? Not sure about your neck of the woods SandwichShortOfAPicnic.

It is wet sleet rather than snow so I think we will be ok

Yes and no! It’s snowed everywhere except one tiny dot where we are!
15mins driving in any direction from here it has snowed (they even had to shut Bristol airport for a while which rarely happens) but just here this little bit has no snow.
It’s still frosty white outside though. Brrrrr

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

It hit 35°C today. It was hot.

Tomorrow is due to be even hotter and then by Tuesday the maximum temp for the day will be 16°C...

And my mum and sister have both said it is snowing in Cheshire as well.

I can see Cardiff and Newport, they’re not that far apart when you’re looking from this side
