Dogging?

Was weeding/pruning on a hilly, open site this morning. Had loads of layers on, and didn't feel cold, except the face- difficult to form words.

Came home to watch the game, and back and side were stiff with the constant wind blasting. Went as soon as the room was warm.

Those alaskan off gridders must be absolutely nails.

Without wind in Iceland (country, not shop) and at -14 I was comfortably warm in an unzipped coat. Picking up a meal from Toby Inn on moors above Edgworth on Friday night it was -5 but blowing a hoolie and I was perished.
It really is more about the wind than the temperature. (Unless you’re in Siberia or either of the Poles.)

Sounded and smelled like spring today.

Gets better by weekend.

Might even fire up the bbq if its dry.

16 degrees today, lovely and warm in the sunshine.

Just about to head out for a couple hours with the dog. Hoping the wind and gloomy skies has been enough of a threat to keep the lockdown walkers indoors. 

Amazing how better you can feel after a simple walk in the sunshiiine.

Been lovely this afternoon.

Loads of bees at the garden nursery and blooming plants. 

Great stuff.

See when you say a holiday, to me that is actually a holiday like stepping off a plane into 30° heat. 

Cheers me up no end the sunshine. I'm a right miserable bitch in winter. Just need a holiday to look forward to now and I'm happy 😎
