I have the same policy but I vary which timezone I adhere to.
On saturdays I'm drinking to Minsk time.


As for cold, I'm toasty but the blokes doing my garage roof this week are a bit taters. Of course, being a good customer I am following the rules around the supply of hot beverages (three cups a day, slice of cake with the afternoon brew).

Them's the tradesman rules not the Covid rules which trump all others

Nets are full of Plaice so can't be that cold

Mackerel will be in soon

this cold spell has highlighted all the cold spots in our suppossedly centrally heated home. massive gale coming from the front door. and from our front room fireplace - fire was removed when we added the CH) . We still have several single glazed windows and i try to avoid the bathroom at all costs!. Radiator on full power by the door but move more than 3 feet and its freezing (single brick construction extension)

They were still around until late November last year never seen them hang around that late before , from memory started getting them in early April last year a few miles out and they started hitting the beaches in May!

The Plaice usually show up in March so the sea must be warming up quicker than the boffins think , nature tells all and the fish are just responding to the sea temperature, nice short term but the signs of global warming are there for all to see .

Anyway not to worry , Boris will sort it

These fish puns are rubbish - what a load of carp.

Forgive me but isn't Sydney in NSW?

Was interesting watching the Cornish fishing programme this week and how they are now commercially catching winter mackerel close to shore..........the influx of tuna to British waters is quite startling too.

Was -10 when I left for work this morning at 4.30am. Interestingly, the main issue was ice on the INSIDE of the windscreen which was a tad disconcerting. Radio 5 Live were talking to someone in Canada where it was -50!

Fecking freezing

I’ll just say walking the dog is a fecking chore when it’s this cold

Went out for a run yesterday. It was cold despite and extra layer and my usual winter gear on.
The wind chill was the killer.
I have decided -3 is the coldest for running for me, that's factoring the wind chill in. It was -7 yesterday.

If I was 10 years younger I would do this bare CHEST running.

Any youngster doing some bare chest stuff?

‘Lost’ one of my running gloves so tried to get out Monday and do my usual but with extra base layer and pulled over my hands a la Mo Salah. The pain in my fingers was excruciating. I think if I’d been out longer than half an hour frostbite due to windchill might have been a genuine risk.

Also at home on Wednesday it got down to minus 7 without windchill and the waste pipe from our washing machine froze solid. Took 3 boiling kettles to defrost and when it did the pipe did an ice crap about 8 inches long.

Uncomfortably numb. Think my hand sanitiser may be freezing over. I guess the mind plays tricks but feel as cold now as when Easyjet flew me to Rovaniemi in January 2019. It was -27 degrees when we landed, and so cold for the return flight that Easyjet flight computer said no and we got a free night's bed n board at the Santa Claus Hotel. Don't recall it feeling all that colder than right here right now tho

It's -13C and snowing in this part of Ontario. It's quite unusual to see it snowing here when it's that cold. I've just bumped the heating up a degree to make sure I'm nice and warm for yet another WFH day.

Just spent an hour tidying the garden. Definitely less bitter than the last few days, and some nice sunshine.

A few cm coming our way tomorrow. I'm waxing the skis in anticipation!

I'm also making the move to NS next month, where it's currently a balmy -6c!
