Far from being dreadful I found my walk today out in the cold, crisp
winter sunshine to be most invigorating. I defy anyone to disagree...

It'll also help get rid of bugs, virus's and aphids which plague us in
the summer playing havoc on the harvests. Like many things, there is
always two sides to the coin.

In the past day or two I heard somebody being interviewed on Radio
Scotland about this.
Said that the timing of the cold snap was particularly unfortunate
(like it's mid-winter!)

It wasn't much fun for me this morning: first making attempts to de-ice the
car in the dark; then driving on roads with lethal patches of ice, then
arriving at destination to find the autosampler frozen (despite being
covered) and a week's important environmental pollution study down the drain
(literally), and then again having to de-ice the car as the windows had
frozen up again. By now hands completely numb and unable to drive/turn on
lights/use indicators and the crappy French car's heater (company car, not
my choice) was completely useless and could only emit slight warmth after 30
minutes (thermostat changed recently and made no difference).

Definitely not my idea of fun and this cold is turning into a right pain in
the rear, though the sunshine was nice this afternoon.

Why restrict it to cancer sufferers?
Why not extend it to grumpy old gits from West London?

There was a very good piece by Christopher Howse in the DT today putting
the case for cold winter weather:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/c...t-it-snow.html

When I read this bit I thought of Will:

"Ideally we should return home with wood to chop to stir the blood and
to add to the log-pile. The tragedy of too many new houses is an absence
of any fireplaces. A real fire is quite as interesting as television and
far more comforting during those power cuts, which may be expected soon
enough."

What gets me is not his dislike of cold weather, each to their own on
that score but his sneering contempt, bordering on the downright abusive
for anyone who disagrees, let alone ahows any excitement or
enthuthisasm over it.

No severe frost here tonight but am looking forward to a snow
covering overnight!
