I hate the cold
Well watched the weather forcast last night though we will be ok in very rarely freezes down this way (warmer sea air and all that) so dont need to get up early to defrost the car but how wrong i was. Running a little late i got to the car to find it is frozen so hard the handle on the drivers door wont move. So pop boot to find that is frozen 2. Manage to get into boot and with the aid of some lock deicer get into car. Then spend the next 10 mins chipping half inch thick ice off the windows to be able to see to drive.
I hate winter. Mental note must give the webasto agent about fitting my parking heater.

yes its that horrible time of year again, Andy has to do 2 trips up our 3 flights of stairs every morning now to get the warm water, then he has to sit in his car for about 10 minutes warming it up...

Cold is fun. Just think of all that snow and ice to go 'slippy slidey' on.
