My Airline Pilot mate met his wife in Norway, where she was in the Norwegian Army guarding his Nimrod on a NATO Exercise.
She did all the winter stuff alongside the boys, including cross-countries and overnighting in Snow Holes. As she said to me:
Ders no such thing as bad wedder, just...
Amazing what difference the Downs make, Sullington to Worthing about 12 miles, we had a couple of heavy flurries but clearly most. had dropped South side already. Almost certainly going to be icy back roads so won't be using my short cut through Wiston (Physio Clinic in Steyning 10.45)
Had to scrape windscreen this morning (8AM) and it was 2 degrees Centigrade over here in RH20.
Still got loads of standing water on back roads, will be fun and games if it freezes and stays frozen!
I'd rather snow than this bloody rain we seem to have had almost every day since the start of December. Had to drop church magazines and then do a small food shop in the village PM, absolutely bloody awful.
Went over to Kent for work yesterday PM. Worked there all day and got home a short while ago.
No snow but the rain never stopped going there and back, well it sort of stopped a bit coming down the A24 from Horsham.
Now peeing it down once more in RH20.
Can we have Spring advanced by a few...
Cheers, I have to go Cliffe AM (Isle of Grain) but rang site and they say all roads are clear. Shitheap of a site but luckily for me last but one survey before I wave bye bye :tosser:
Might know we have an electrician in to install a Car Charger for my Hybrid and we have to manhandle my Honda out of the Garage onto a frozen Drive.
Kept it upright somehow, but it isn't moving again until we have a thaw... :lolol:
Was minus 5 in RH20 when fetching morning papers - trees look spectacular with hoar frost.
Currently boiling kettle to unfreeze our birdbath, had a filthy look from our resident robin first up... :lolol:
Firewood Basket now moved from Garage to Sitting Room PM in anticipation of getting Fireplace going later in the week.
Went out in garden to rake up leaves and decided not to bother after a while...
