Shortest day. Summer's on it's way. Awesome.
FCN 2-4.

    Are you sure you haven't peaked too soon. Surely the shortest day is tomorrow?

    Peaking too soon is something tiny_pens knows all about avoiding.

    Balls. Yep, it's tomorrow.

    Oh well, what's the difference between one dark, miserable day and another, eh?

    Silly. He's blaming Wiggle.
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    Overdressed on the way to work at noon but expected to be comfortable on the way home at 2200 but still hot and sweaty, 10c @ 2200 :?
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Way ahead of you. Every day with factor 40. Can't turn a light on without at least factor 8 on

    Went for a morning ride with the miniAH down the canal path to Newport. Blue skies, little fluffy white clouds and double digit temperatures.

    .........and every piece of grass a quagmire from the recent hosepipe rain.

    Feels ver' ver' springlike, not three sleeps to Christmas.
