5:42 in the morning, warm but dark. Earl Grey tea in a paper cup because holiday inn don't trust me with crockery.

I did 6 miles round town this morning before we had a shower. Wanted to stay close to home in case the impending doom arrived.

It still hasn't all we've had is a couple of light showers.

@Fab Foodie what have you had down the road there?

A sterling effort, but I'm sticking to my original statement.

Its a tad damp in Coventry.

This is now the prediction for later this afternoon.... so it will be sleet rather than snow here (and rain in Deal)

And comparing this to the earlier version of 1:55 it was fairly close! Though it looks a little wetter on the east coast in this version.

Definitely splishy-sploshy here.

@Salty seadog pointed me in the direction of a shelf-full of the stuff, no time to make Kimchi....

Top man.

I was told that all CChat users are special.

Actually I'm now hoping it does not snow as I could not have a bird killing machine like Henry in my garden, I've spent a small fortune these last few weeks trying to attract them in, not for bait.

My next acquisition will be a better camera, maybe a bridge camera but I am still at the research stage, any advice welcome.

@Fab Foodie got a new camera yesterday and don't forget @coffeejo who knows a thing or too about them.

I've got some bread rising... (a non orthodox ciabatta recipe which I have decided to put in milled linseed which I bought this morning wondering if I could add to bread), and just set off a carrot and fennel soup! Now just got to wait and wonder why I didn't start lunch earlier!

Linseed will keep you all regular.

Hope you haven't over done it

I've got a pretty decent camera, but I'm not helping him.

I only added an ounce! Bread was fine if at the underdone end of being cooked.... that's what comes from being hungry and unwilling to wait an extra 10 mins! Feeling cosy and full now (and the spare soup is cooling to go in the freezer for lunch sometime.

How regular? Every 5 minutes.

If it wasn't so cold and wet I'd take my hat off to anyone who has been out on their bike today.

Just doing my usual 14 mile round trip commute and not happy we had no snow....just grotty cold rain and wind ! Yesterday was "Interesting" with serious gusts blowing me about !
