My daughter is contemplating a move from Germany to Panama where the temperature is apparently 25-30C all year round! Too hot for me but perhaps you could go and visit her for me Peter? :-D

I used to really suffer in the cold Peter and I felt the same as you but this winter something odd has happened and I'm tolerating it much better than previously...

Back in the summer I also seemed to tolerate the heat very well too... These days I seem to cope well with both extremes and that was never the case until 2020...

I've no explanation for it but it's got me loving cold, crisp bright and frosty winter days... I also have a massive rain tolerance, especially when I'm running!

It all seems to have changed since March...

This is actually from a couple of days ago but it has snowed on & off for a few days now, makes a nice change from rain! and I'd much rather work on my car in snow rather than rain.

Popped down to Tesco at lunchtime, lots of flashing headlights on the steep hill down, black ice all the way.

All ours has gone now, bright sunshine. It was 27c in our conservatory yesterday, just going to check it today - who needs to go to Spain?
