I'm still alive.... waiting for the promised snow to arrive (although I did see some on the distant hills the other side of Carmarthen when we went there yesterday).

Also, the Cymru ITV keeps saying things like "-15C overnight", but the lowest we've seen is +3C.....

Seeing as we are on a rocky headland exposed to both the "cold" North winds, as well as the prevailing SW ones, we seem to be quite fortunate. I could have done with my sunglasses yesterday (even though it may have looked odd without a golden retriever) walking around the shops 8) .

The Elan is suffering from underuse (can get far more in a T5 van than a Lotus boot), unlike the Debit Card which is getting far too much use :shock:

(and it probably has a flat battery by now as I haven't got an outside electric socket at the moment to keep it plugged in, and the solar panel is still somewhere undiscovered - I should have put it in the boot of the car, but it went in a box with other 'sundry' items.).... too many jobs, not enough enthusiasm (time!).....

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

You mean you put it in a 'safe' place.
Safe because you can't remember where.
