What I hate is having to scrape the ice on the inside of the car windscreen.

That's why Roger doesn't have a car - so he doesn't have to phone anyone on his mobile if it goes wrong when he's out. He can't drive anyway.

Not that he's got a mobile phone. He doesn't need one you see, seeing as he doesn't drive. Also he wouldn't know how to work one.

No, he just sits in his shed, gets the bus to watch Dundee Utd., or stares inquisitively at his computer.

Peeps, the shed was at my old house. I have a cosy indoor office these days, from where I can stare out and watch my wife fetching the coal.

Yes, but I refuse to let her work the night shift.

Obviously. She can't work the night shift and get your tea.

Well, not unless you get her a job in a pit very close by, then she could get your tea in her tea breaks.

Roger, have these Roger-Is-Andy-Capp-style inferences only started since you took over Andy Capp?

At least he kindly shows her the right and wrong way of lifting heavy loads.

Sadly, my macho posturings are restricted to the virtual world and please don't tell my wife about the stuff I wrote earlier.
Back to the weather and I had to venture into Dundee to pick up the ingredients for the dinner I'm making tonight (see?). The sun was shining, it was 12.30 p.m. and the temperature was minus five degrees!

Glad things have warmed up for you Roger.

Actually, from where I'm sitting, you could just about walk across the Tay - awesome ice floes drifting down to the railway bridge. I'm not going to try though...

I flew back into Exeter in the early hours of yesterday, and Bloody Hell it's cold. The average temp in Cyprus in the afternoons was 30c, but it fell to about 10 in the evenings -- I won't whinge anymore as to how chilly that felt.
Anyway, Happy New Year everyone - and roll on the Summer....
