Hello All.
I am sitting here listening to the wind howling.
And the rain hitting the glass door.
Damn, this garage is freeeeeezing.
I hope to leave at about twelve tomorrow.
Straight from work.
Oh wow…the news is on.
Snow forecast on the high ground tomorrow.
Good thing I am not going near the high ground.
Good thing I have a heater in the car.
Good thing there is no rush.
I can take it easy.
Dare I say this?
I am sick and tired of the Olympics.
Not the actual Olympics.
But the constant changing of channels.
Mex is going to have a very sore wrist by the time this is all over.
Get your mind out of the gutters.
Now, much as I would love to chat to you guys, I have to pack.
And have a hot shower.
To defrost.
I will try to post from East London.
Your garage needs batting in the ceiling to act as insulation

Hi Sidey…It is a flat roof…don’t hink one can get into the ceiling.

I’d be bundled up in fleece! Is there no way to add any insulation anywhere? Maybe a peak should be added over the flat roof so you could put insulation up there – it’s not right that you’re expected to live in such uncomfortable conditions.
Have a safe trip. hopefully the rain will let up on the low ground by tomorrow. We look forward to your return. xoxo

Morning RD…I am not spending another cent on the place…in summer I shall probably be complaining,very loudly, about how hot it is!

I really feel for you when you’re so uncomfortable in the cold garage. It’s just not right. Travel safely tomorrow.

I’d forgotten that you are heading into winter while we are in the middle of summer (allegedly).

Hi Elaine…we are in the middle of one of the wettest coldest winters EVER!

You defrost the same way I used to . . . hop into a HOT shower until my blood is moving freely again.
Maybe you’ll be warmer in the car than you are in the house?

Hi NR…the car will definitely be warmer than the flat…there will be an electric blanket for me tonight…and Wendy has a wonderful shower.

Think Mr P and MEx are made in the same mould. The Olympics are driving me crazy! Not the events themselves but the way the commentators disect everything and analysisng why GB are doing so badly.

Take care and remember that the angels don’t have driver’s licenses if you drive too long.
