It was more raw this morning rather than freezing so had a short birl before I walked the dog. Tomorrow is looking worse for us and may be close to freezing so won't take any chances if it is. Maybe a jog along the river with the dog. I always was nervous cycling if there was a chance of ice and even more so now.

As Nigel says. Not sure how different it is from a pootle or a potter.

Been a nice day. Coldish but dry. Second four mile dog walk done and that's me in for the night.

No signs of it easing a bit yet? Take care if there is any chance of it being slippy. Last thing you need is to slip and jar yourself.

So, sadly no signs of improvement other than from a pain needs side of life taking it to a 4/10 on the pain scale. I should get a tens machine tomorrow which will help. Also no sign of the mri being done yet either, so we are going private but that means seeing a consultant first before they agree to an mri... £.

Finally got far enough ahead on the decorating front and after the DynoRod man had been I got out for a quick 7 miles before it got dark and rush hourey. It was grand to be out but at only 4C I was glad of my merino base layer.

Just got back from the coldest ride I've ever done. The garmin registered -3c at one point on the 20 mile commute. A saner man would have taken the short 5 mile route home
