    Coming up on Sky News shortly... Paul Mckenna (the hypnotist) telling people how they can lose weight, just by thinking.

    Actually plugging his new book, which makes people believe they have a gastric band...

    He seems to believe that if a person really believes that they have a gastric band fitted, then they lose their appetite. Simples. Quote from interview "This will save the NHS millions".

    Morning lovelies!

    It's cold and dull, but I suppose you all know that. Nothing going on yet. image

    Morning from East Dorset. No weather here so far today.

    Gary, my sister claims she always told her boys that the ice-cream van chimes meant it has run out. They will probably be telling the same to their children come the summer!

    Spotted the snowdrops pushing up on dog no. 2's grave, also two robins side by side on a branch so nature is thinking about Spring image

    "Tom Tobler, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, said: 'It will be freezing in some areas this week but could get slightly colder if the skies are clearer than forecast.

    'This would be a return to more typical January temperatures than the milder weather we've been having. There is the potential next week for some colder weather."  (from the Independent) 

    So we're going to get some more typical January weather - and the newspapers are promulgating panic?: "image

    The Met Office website says

    what else do we expect in January?image

    This from The Telegraph...

    "Matthew Oates, a naturalist with the National Trust, said it was normal for nature to spring into life as soon as the weather warms up. However it is a “high risk” strategy as it uses up energy when the weather could turn cold again. He said that the birds really need to “calm down “ to stop them nesting too early and getting caught out. We really need a cold snap to calm this lot down, otherwise they will get overexcited and it will all end in tears"

    Calling all shippingimage

    The ice cream chime thing is an old joke-but can't remember where I heard it first-I have mentioned before the old Morecambe and Wise clip

    So last Sunday's prediction on Countryfile weather looks like it is coming true-proves the point I have been banging on about about starting stuff to early-so yahboo  and sucks to those doubters

    Expect endless clips of snowbound vehicles,school closures, Britain grinds to a halt etc-the usual annual celebration of media frenzy image

    Still slobbingimage

    Geoff - well done you image  Perhaps there should be a 'smug' smiley for occasions like this image

    Feeding birds in sub-zero temperatures is not compatible with full slobbing.

    You really do need to put something on, at least trousers, to avoid frost bite.
