-5 overnight here, which has managed to reduce my office down to a temperature just barely above 10 :( Heating costs are ridiculous but hopefully by early evening it will be double that :P

My phone said it was -10 in Colchester this morning  :eek   I was in the car though which was good since my heated gloves have packed up.

I lived in Leytonstone (not far from Cathall road leisure centre, if you know the area) before I moved out here.  Moving was one of the best things I've done  :lol

Wednesday morning was -8 but rose to a balmy -6 through the day. Today in the morning was -5 but -1 just now with the snow on the way, no biking for me for a while yet  :'( . Bloody cold out on the quad just now tho. All the outside taps are frozen so having to take buckets of water from the house to the kennels.
