Already (-9) at Sennybridge in Wales @ 18:00

I wish there could be more done for the elderly, homeless and sick
during this exceptional cold spell in England & Wales.

What you don't seem to grasp is that we don't either make or control the
weather. (Although your wishing for mild weather and constant moaning seems
to have helped!) We have every sympathy with unwell people it may affect
and hope that everything can be done to help them. In fact I don't feel that
decrepid at nearly 59 and am thinking of donating my heating alowance when I
get it next year.

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's beautiful isn't it!
Ate my curry and chips on a bench in the sun today in Exeter and it felt
warm, but with frost on the ground.

I was out this afternoon doing some bird atlas survey work and I found I
had to take my gloves off as my hands were getting overheated which was
slightly surprising. Still quite a bit of snow in areas shaded from the sun
and even in the woods the ground was frozen hard. a very pleasant afternoon
excursion.

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).

If its a Peugeot its like mine The matrix rad is blocked New matrix I'm
afraid but then if its a company car you dont have to pay .
wow the cold is becoming a right pain I knew you had it in you somewhere

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?

I won't disagree that you felt invigorated (how could I?) but
personally I prefer walking easily rather than tensed and hunched.
Warmth puts smile on peoples faces, relaxes them and is overall a good
thing. Well, up to a wet-bulb temperature of about 20°C it is.
