leeds, weatherforecast said -4, it feels colder than that.And the rest of the week aint gonna be much better either.
People who work outside on building sites etc have my sympathy, i couldnt hack it
It´s currently 17 degrees celcius which is 62 in old money and I think it´s cold. I would sieze up in minus 6.
Came to Canada in '75 regularly worked outside as an Instrument Tech. in -30C weather windchill -50C they are used to it here just dress in down filled parkas..was still painfully cold though.
At home in Southern Spain RL, very mild but I am used to much hotter temperatures, 100 plus in the Summer. My mate who was over for New years is a scaffolder in Wolverhampton and he is back to work tomorrow at 7.00 a.m. I don´t envy him one bit!
i once spent a very short spell with her majesty that involved picking frozen vegetables out of the ground in deepest fenland.taught me a valuable lesson.i became a vicar.
nice one slippy, a picture in our paper of a waterfall up in the dales about 20ft high frozen solid, just one mass of icicles.
Last time I saw snow I was skiing in Austria 5 years ago. Your blood thins in hot climates and you get used to the extreme temperatures after awhile, hate the cold now.
the old saying " its too cold to snow", well its true tonight! at times like these i always think the aa or r.a.c. patrol man has a lousy job, must be a bit hectic in this weather.
book the flights Reg...meet you in departure lounge!.....
just checked the thermometer and its -5
and the snow is freezing over.not a
breath of wind.will b very nasty
on the roadsaround here tomorow

Just here to sort my place out Dobbo, have got a few contacts in London to get organised so will go back at the end of the month.
I've only been to Spain once..about 15 years ago rented a place in Mojacer (spelling?) fora month.I loved it and thought I would buy a place there but dawdled as is usual and have never been back
Get up Pende tomorrow.
If I was Hungover on Monday AM I used to walk to Barley from Colne and Go into work after lunch fully refreshed..yer right.
No but I did.

Thats the kiddie.I remember talking to a Chelsea supporter in a bar who was telling me I could buy a decent three bedroom gaff for 30K (Sterling).
It is a ghost town now Dobbo, it shuts middle of October for 5 months.
OR8? Dont know what that means.Not yet.I print outs of all the advice I have been given

We were in the old town up the hill Slippy.Surely thats the same?maybe not.From what I have read they have massively developed the coastline.
Great in the Summer and it´s a good spot if you like solitude when the season finishes, superb beach and coastline but the whole of the coast is on its knees. Any Spanish bar or restaurant will be closed that rely on the tourists. I have been to Vera on an educational, pronounced Bera, I hated the place personally reg.

The Shooters is the Pub right at the top of Barkerhouse...beautiful view I'm essentially a Trawdener..its in my blood ..to drop dead on Boulsworth would be a poetic demise.
But so nice to touch base with you.

Envious..Dobbs but..you must be providing joy...long may it continue god bless.
Not joy.We have a craic whatever we do.Oh fck it I dont get marital problems where blokes moan about "er indoors" and all that. If you aint happy move on.We have both been married before but the balance now is right.
will check out the shooters.know where you mean now
good to talk with you tambo man

Lookat we're all diverse**s lying in the gutter...you are a literary type..searching I'm sure for enlightenment...as I am ..you are as I am sure sorrowful as our land has declined to a state of unbelievable madness..Belguim seems to have retained more of a sense of what life is all about.
I fear Canada might surrender to this Multicultural Madness.
But hey lets enjoy the moment.

very very cold, shortest dog walk on record, must be -6
Wimp. I looked at world temperatures two days ago.
Moscow was minus 21 but Winnipeg was coldest at minus 22.
They didn't list anywhere in Siberia.
The hottest place was Darwin at 40 degrees.

From what I can gather Belgium is falling as is every other country in Europe but Brugge is different.Its a walled city.A citizen from the 17thC would recognise it because it is intact. It has stability in that a lot of the families have been there for hundreds of years or.It is used to welcoming strangers .It has no great social problems. It is a stable,non violent,safe,calm city.I hope it retains so for my lifetime.

Brierfield was always a nice place...I know things have changed a lot
..I remember old Schoolmates Paul Swift and John Turley were from there.I rememember Connelly's Place.
Remember the Imp.?
