Bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Gosh it's freezing in the U.K. ! The big chill was -5 degrees this morning when I had to defrost my car in order to travel to work. I managed to get the windscreen so that I could safely see and drive, but the bodywork took almost all of the 55 mile journey to defrost. It was -4 on the campus, but one area I drove through was up to 0 degree and that allowed the car to thaw. The chill continued in work and I spent most of the day in a t-shirt, shirt and jacket. Thankfully my bro had sent me a windproof, waterproof, breathable technical fleece as a gift over the weekend. That was really nice of him and a great addition for me to keep warm this Winter. I can only imagine how warm it must be in Accra at the moment. Patricia and Michael will live in Canada, but I don't know where exactly or how warm/cold it is at this time of year. Although, it will not be as warm as Ghana, it probably is warmer than Wales, but then again maybe not. I will have to send a Facebook message to find out the weather in Ghana and Canada. Meanwhile, I shall continue to huddle over the heater and sit here blogging and watching TV. Mind you, chill or no chill I have to get on with building the 'n' gauge railway. Thankfully it is in-doors and does not involve serious labour or the cold weather.
