    Don't think it's too cold here, just above freezing according to forecast but haven't been outside yet.
    Have been awake since stupid o clock because someone got up and was making a racket so that's my day ruined.

    Will try and go for a run later when the sun's come out and the ice has melted a bit.

    Ciao

    Have no idea what its like outside as its pitch black.

    Tired around the edges but all will be good. First pint of coffee consumed. Gym sesh at work then some bits to do for upcoming stuff in the summer that I'm quite excited about.

    -4 here apparently.

    We're not allowed out, so WFH and that's it.

    Morning, a chilly -5 here attempted dog walk failed, second attempt later see if the ice melts first though.
    WFH as ever supposed to have a new starter today so I have to look some way presentable apparently which is hassle for the 10 minute video call, not sure what I'm meant to do, guided tour of the house?

    Apparently it's already a heady zero degrees here and rising as its sunny outside. Not that it matters much as I'm not headed outside until this evening to go running. Bike ride on the cards for Thursday, shock horror.

    Absolutely gorgeous here right now, and I don't mean me :lol:
    Sun's out, blue skies, 3-4 inches of snow everywhere. Cleared the snow off the car in my shorts and T shirt and didn't feel cold at all.

    If you're careful with your webcam positioning, you only need to dress your top half.

    H fancy doing our mutts as well, you'd have to dig them out the snow first though. What fancy new motor you getting then. Tesla or an E-cargobike.

    :)

    Luckily our snow has melted, but the turds are still solid.

    Ahhh, I think you’re gorgeous thistle. 😘

    Took about 20 mins to de-ice the car this morning. There was a layer of frost under the top layer of frost....so a double layer of frost if my maths is correct which I believe it is 😎 Ran out of windscreen washer as well so had to guess where the road and other cars were on the way in.

    That's a valid point, or just keep the shutter in the webcam shut claim I live in a cave with no power, just clunk some stones together an claim were cooking

    Also, I still use a travel mug even though I'm not travelling 😂 purely as I forget to drink the coffee while working, thought I'd join in this coffee mug flashing frenzy. DHL, nice loaf by the way home made?

    I was waiting for a heavy frost to firm them up...

    First coffee consumed but posting a pic of my 100% Colombian might not be too wise? About to brew #2. Today? Bright and sunny but... yesterday's snow mostly melted then we had, and still have just about, well sub zero overnight temps. Everything still coated in slippery stuff outside. Risk the bike ride later or not? Tbd. Might just do the non-runner's brisk stumble instead.
