Hard frost and cold down here. Bright sun so it will burn off. Only +1 at 8am this morning. If forecasts are right will be colder next week so winter not done with us yet. Might have to hold off on the speedo's for another week Frank.
Not sure if whist if too intellectual - never played it - but give me tennis any day although sadly I am a spectator these days.
Lovely sunny day again although the wind is getting fresher - still another day when I have had to water some plants - more to do tomorrow if this dry spell carries on - until next week that is.
Whist is mostly memory for cards isn't it? We have a set of bone china we use only at Xmas (white with a bit of red and gold and not dishwasher safe) which OH won as a lad at a whist drive. His family played all sorts of card games all over the Xmas hols and whist and cribbage at organised events all winter. OH also played bridge and so did I but he followed a system and competed so we never played together as it would be grounds for divorce.
Bright, sunny and cold here. Lovely to see but not gardening friendly really so I'm not too bothered that my poor bashed knees are confining me to barracks.

Frost early today, came back from my Daughters at 11pm last night it was minus 2 at her, 2 when I got home, windscreen frosted up. Today looked absolutely lovelly blue sky, not a cloud sunny, (did 4 loads of washing) took the dogs on the beach OMG the easterly wind, was bitter, and you could hardly walk along! Got my washing in a little while ago, thought hello, its raining, NO it was snow little hard balls, stopped now. I put my coat in to go out there only took a couple of minutes, but my hands were agony!
Stockton Sunshine and clear skies although the Siberian winds have dropped the temperature to 1C. Snow promised I would think.
Played Partner whist but my love was Solo whist we had a school running in the mess with people sitting round to watch, I got my train fare into London from that school every week. The other small ball game was Billiards, just three ball on the table, Snooker was for the wimps, in my misspent youth I had learned in a very hard school how to play Billiards and it payed off on those mess tables. A fool and his money are soon parted, I payed to learn let them.

Frank.
Frosty start but very sunny so we'll get to a balmy 5C for a moment this pm. Colder tomorrow and again the day after......
Clouding over now after a sunny morning, that wind is getting up to force 6/7 now - so time to come inside where it is warmer.
Beautiful day here in Wales,wall to wall sunshine,with some warmth in it! Spent a lot of time outside.???
-18 C. It was interesting to come home this evening and discover that the dogs had turned the heating off.
