Many years ago when I followed a regular life style, given what I did regular was a stretching it a bit,  I used to have just another day at the office.    Not much happened and you got on with things.   Well the last few days have had elements of that and I suspect it is because we are going through this grey horrible winter period where for days on end it is just the same.   Actually yesterday we went to Nottingham and the sun was dazzling.   Unfortunately as we crossed the Trent going sought the sun started to disappear under the low lying cloud and by the time we got home it was back to normal.   Such is life.

This cold spell, a very relative term, we are going through has thrown up some strange anomalies.  Last nights weather map predicted that the warmest place in the British Isle today would be Lerwick which also happened to be the most northerly not far short of the arctic circle…oh the joys of the north atlantic drift.  However given the wind chill it would still feel only about 1-2 degrees celsius.
