nothing to be sorry about, I have yet to see the virtual snow, seen plenty of the real stuff 

 

the road is stupidly icy though.

Virtual snow here as well

Here yesterday.

It was +1c in Cropredy at lunchtime when I left to drive back south. Temperature rose steadily until it hit +7c when I got to Newbury about an hour later.

Think yerselves lucky living on a boat. In over thirty years of living aboard we were never without water. In this latest downgrade to a house, we have had no water for nearly two days now, and no sign of it coming back on anytime soon 😒 a massive area without water. Whacking great artics at collection point 200 yards away luckily giving bottles of water. Cant start the engine and motor to another tap, cant string a load of hosepipes together etc etc.

Life will be complete if you get a power cut whist the water is still off

Took us 2 hours, 2 boat engines, and 2 dock pumps, and now the marina along with adjacent canal is ice free again and the next boat is in the dock.

Positively tropical here today.

 

A balmy 13 degrees.

 

What a contrast.

 

Bit windy though.

I'm surprised you've noticed. I thought a sensible chap like you drank beer.
