    Morning, frosty and slippery after yesterday’s snow and rain, tigger already walked, having a coffee whilst thawing out, it looks like cycling indoors again this morning, relaxing later.
    Be careful out there
    Have a good day

    Morning, started snowing a short time ago here, apparently most of today it'll snow so zero riding. Plus it's very icey out.

    SG surely you just need to ok geiger counter for that one? Isn't it usually just buried at the back of a cupboard not even with a trefoil on it?
    Reminds me of school where so e kids stole stuff out the chemical store, the found out the hard way lithium and a sweaty pocket leads to chemical burns.

    Morning All. No snow but yesterday's dampness has frozen well causing a few issues. Few small easy errands and prepare for WFW tomorrow. WW 3 with eldest later, streaming online till stupid o'clock this morning not gone down well with rest of the family.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Light sprinkling of snow overnight but it's overcast and something's looming.

    Rollers again.

    I noticed that @seanoconn self styled moderator [email protected] is hardly on at the weekend, does that mean we don't have to post pics?

    Big wet flakes here. Nothing settling.

    Couple inches (in old skool speak) here on top of last night's -4 freeze so nah, ain't taking a bike out today.

    Could always watch Luton Town doing over Cheatski.

    Bring on springtime...

    That'll be a 'highlight' [insert rolling eyes icon].
    Alternatively, watch a round of the Cyclo cross WC.

    More furniture assembly for me today. Kids shelves.

    Couldn't finish the big fitted wardrobe as they've supplied the wrong feet.

    Snowing heavily. Nearly up to top of kerb.
    Peak for today was seeing the chimney at a local power station come down.
    Downhill from here.

    Well I've always been old skool, that foreign stuff never did catch on with me. We only took it on to join the common market, now we’re out, good riddance [can't wait for £sd to come back]

    No snow but around -2°C here so no road riding for me either. I’ll pop another log on the fire and put some spuds around the edge for later with a beer I think

    Morning folks,
    Enjoying a traditional slow start here. It's all white outside, don't know if it will last. Old dear had her jab this morning, I'll wander over shortly to see how she's doing.

    It settled in the high altitudes of the old dear's, not quite above the tree line though

    hola

    cold, wet, sleet, decorating. maybe selling a bike to someone.

    apart from that, keeping head down tbh...

    The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

    Thought that might be the case but implications of mountainous SW20 was funnier.

    It is bloody mountainous! 18% on wool road. :smile: Fair enough, max elevation must only be 100m above sea level.

    Next door's kitten was excited by the snow, but soon got bored and went back inside after the kids started chasing it. At least it's black and easy to spot in this weather.
  • oxomanoxoman Posts: 11,296
    Well the weather soon changed. This took about 10 mins.
    Bally I'm guessing your not to far away next to the chase.
