"So I wonder if it's going to...." LA LA, LA LA, fingers in my ears, I can't hear what you're saying, LA LA .

If you find yourself thinking about it, and need to very quickly change the subject, it's easy just to click on this special thread instead and witter on loudly about something else to stop yourself just in time.

So: I've just had some nice pineapple for my lunch. I've sawn up a 2.4 x 1.2 piece of plywood to make a ramp for some steps at my parents house - there's something quite satisfying about sawing wood up accurately by hand. I'm going to watch the Wallace and Gromit "Complete Collection" later. Ah no, make that The Ipcress File. Unfortunately I didn't manage to keep my two bike-training appointments today because it's 45mph winds here and I didn't want to see bike+rider get blown away over the rooftops and spoil my "nobody damaged in 10 years" record. All my sunflower heads are now out - 12 of them on two plants.

So anyway, it's probably going to be horrendously w..... NO! LA LA LA LA LA LA.......

Yes that would be lovely. Unfortunately a trip to the Alps is a little difficult at the moment, but some photos would be just as good please G .

I do understand that the thing with wood is before you can do good stuff with it you have to season it in some decent conditions of wea.... NOOO-O-O-O-O-O-O.....

Is it still too soon?

Ooohhhhh, alright... go on then! But don't jinx it!!

(Looks alright actually, with drizzle either side, but don't tell anyone or you'll spoil it )

i'll counter that with:

It's Friday before the WRT and I'm in the garden here in Liverpool and it's flipping freezing (in comparison to recent days/weeks/months)
As I feel the cold, do I pack my Cumulus 450 over my 250 as its forecast to be just 5degrees overnight near Mach on Sunday night?

Are you thinking if any kit changes at the last minute?

Yeah 5deg. Pulled my bamboo leggings on just as I was leaving, plus one thin fleece. Got down jacket for evening and night if needed.

Apparently I have a 350... not sure if that's warm enough or not?
