Friday… Brrrrr!
Jan 9th 2009PeterGetting My Life Back!
And that pretty much says it all! Monday morning’s drive to work was ‘challenging’ as I drove through snow storms on the A303, and although they died down as the journey progressed, it made things interesting. weather wise it just got colder as the week progressed – the coldest I saw in car as I drove from the Hotel was -7C! I had a meeting in Bristol on Tuesday – a 30 minute train trip took 90 minutes by replacement coach as the points were frozen at Bath! I wonder how they manage in really cold countries?
This morning wasn’t too bad at -4C, but the windscreen froze in the half hour between loading the car before checking out and actually driving away, in freezing fog, to the office.
Still, it has a been a good but very busy first week back. The weekend will be spent finishing off the coursework (with one more remaining) and then I have ECP on Monday and Tuesday, and back up here on Wednesday!
O&U!

Good luck for Monday and Tuesday, a little cold to be crossed up as it restricts the circulation.

Noting the ‘numbers’ it was 18 here…………………..
Fahrenheit that is and I have to work out why my car, which is used the most, is the one left out of the garage. I suppose it could be that the two ladies don’t like scraping the windows.
Have a good week

Given up on the scraper – and found those aerosol de-freezers pretty inefficient (and don’t last long) but I found some great stuff at the local Shell garage. Its a pump bottle and doesn’t take much to remove quite heavy coatings of frost from the windows. (Onley Windows seems to freeze – Linux is fine 🙂 )

Yup, we have one of those but Vivienne nicked it for her car although it is kept in the garage…….that’s daughters for you.
If not too cold I use a little warm (not hot water) sometimes with a little washing up liquid to clear the windows. I have not had a freeze or blue screen for many months.
If the Conservatives have their way we will all be back on B&W crt TVs and candles to supplement the energy efficient light bulbs.
