Lol.............The 3 degrees up here

I’m glad you explained that, I was trying to think of a group called Chilly Start

Morning all, 5 degrees and cloudy here. Supermarket day today.

Good morning folks, dry but blowing a hoolie here

I am taking Pam out, well I am dropping her off in Lincoln whilst I go fix a couple of dents, just got to remember to pick her up when I finish and not come straight home and wonder where she is.

Which for me gets harder by the day 😄

Yeah! Rock 'n' roll time. The CH fired up bang on 07.30

I'll make porridge next and head out at 09.00 to reach the meet point at 09.30. I'm notorious for being late and there really is no excuse.

One of our number has messaged to say he can't make it. MIL taken to A&E at midnight. She is 95 and has dementia so one person allowed in to the hospital with her. This is the first time his wife has seen her mother in six months. My buddy described this as "bloody inhuman."

I did the reverse Wim Hof method this morning.

I did the reverse Wim Hof method this morning.

Had to look him up. Never heard of him. Interesting, but I will decline I think.

Good morning gang. By god it's parky here. I have a fire going.

There is something inherently wrong with pineapple on pizza. You should be banned from the old duffers thread.

Stay safe folks.

What the heck is......nope, I won't ask that

Glad I didn't ask

Actually the cold water can be very good for many ailments, anxiety amongst them, Google High Fearnley - wherewithal or whatever for his thoughts on cold water swimming, worth a look. I have done a bit myself and it certainly reboots you for a good while afterwards.

Morning all

Yay! It's Fish Friday!
Off out Exmoor doggie walking this morning and then off to Dulverton for lunch.
Weather's looking good for the next 4 days.

Morning all... Had a very busy week trying to make hay while the weather was good, not so good at the moment though, so a day of domestics. Our Asda delivery should be here any moment, I got a two week reserved slot.

My son tried that Wim Hof method, had to laugh he lasted about 10 minutes at it!

Have a good day folks! 🌈

Hello world, I'm here The skies are clear and it's very still. The outdoor thermometer shows 8⁰ and indoors the thermostat 18⁰. House feels warm which is good news on the CH front.

It feels a lot cooler than 8⁰ outside so it will be bib longs this morning, autumn base layer and jacket. Depending on which weather app I use we are forecast for winds between 20-42mph at 11.00. Looking out of the window it's hard to believe and forecast is 14 for 7.00am.🤔

Downloaded the track and trace app last night. Not sure if I have to leave Bluetooth on all the time or not.

Today's much anticipated event is will the CH kick in at the programmed time. I have nothing else to do. ☹

Apparently you do have to leave bluetooth on at least in Scotland. Not wishing to go off thread but it seems some unionists in Scotland are downloading the English app as they cannot accept that we have a different one and must follow England. Nutters as it will probably not work.
