Comment by Brian Milne on February 11, 2012 at 9:45: I did walkies at 0700 and my beard was frozen, oh roll on spring and shaving time suddenly. My presidential aspirations are at an all time low. My last experience was trial of nerves enough but the thought of most of them here and 'doing' things for the commune does not seem to work. (String of obscenities at the thought....). I still pop out for a couple of minutes in bare feet and shorts to freshen up, which leaves my OH totally perplexed still, but those couples of minutes get shorter by the year now and this week I have not bothered. Oh well, time to rouse the rest of the household, venture out shopping and trickle the water yet again!

Comment by Andrew Hearne on February 11, 2012 at 9:38: oh and enjoy the cognac - that trickle of water thing is the only way to keep it going, fil and bil do the same on the farm

Comment by Andrew Hearne on February 11, 2012 at 9:37: Brian for president!

and no I won't be going out in - 14°C, I'm mad but not that mad! We managed a reduced training ride in -4° last saturday but that really was as low as I think you (i) can reasonably go without investing in some very heavy duty arctic gloves and footwarmers - the rest of the body is fine cos the blood's pumping around at a rate of knots but hands and feet...! :-O

Comment by Brian Milne on February 11, 2012 at 9:23: Hoo, hoo. Just had a neighbour come to see me with a 'Thank you' bottle (cognac!!). Yesterday morning I went round all eight inhabited houses in our two hamlets to see who had frozen water. We are getting up roughly once an hour to run the cold tap until we have full stream. However I remembered having emergency service training from Cambridgeshire for all manner of disasters (still strong belief in nuclear war back then) for councillors and when I was chair had a kind of 'doom' situation book. Keeping water mains open in extreme cold was one, by coordinated running of taps to keep the flow moving. So I went round to everybody, explained carefully and even how I knew. We are still down to a trickle but with runs every hour or so get it back. All houses are still doing it this morning. The man who came is our local 'big man', which is to say he is probably very well off financially compared to everybody else and has a lot of important local mates, etc. He also told me to stand for office this year, which I do not really want to, but he thinks we could do with all of these emergency things in this commune. That got me using ppppppppppprrrrrrs and merde alors for sure.

Comment by Andrew Hearne on February 11, 2012 at 8:53: Buongiorno - fai sempre l'idraulico?! faceva meno 14 qui stamatina ma spero que sia verso il zero questo pomeriggio perché voglio andare in bici lo stesso ma...!

Comment by Brian Milne on February 10, 2012 at 21:57: "Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!"to quote Kenneth Williams. It so merde et double merde froid, kalt, frio and cold here with at least -16 expected that I shall now sneak off to my coje, especially given the need to get up to run the taps every max two hours. Buona notte due e tutti

Comment by Andrew Hearne on February 10, 2012 at 21:40: "Where is Brian?" "Brian is in the kitchen" and what about "my tailor is rich" an even more useful phrase that's always banded about!!!

Comment by Brian Milne on February 10, 2012 at 21:21: Catharine, you are incorrigible! Now, can anybody else spell that sheit of a word out there in case that went down the sewers too. PPPPPPPPPrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
