    Summer has almost certainly gone.
    I've had the heated grips on for a few morning commutes in the last couple of weeks, and to top it all off i've just had my first morning dog walk in my big bike jacket and wooly hat :confused:

    Yes you're right I'm sorry to say.

    What is this word Commute you talk about ? I vaguely remember doing it many moons ago, but I've forgotten what it was. :p

    Isn't it some factor to decide upon how much of a pension lump sum to take against a reduced monthly amount?

    Ha ha, i must admit, it's not 'that' cold yet, but it is chilly here tonight.
    We only had the log burner installed at the end of last winter, so not used it much and is still a novelty to spark it up.
    I'm sat sweating me nuts off now :grinning::grinning:

    You peeps. I don't bother hate heating. But when I go to work they have the place boiling then I get colds and flu.
    Just don't like heat other than sunshine.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Boy glad you posted that as I have always thought it was me. I t love the open weather and don't mind the rain. And Autumn is my favourite time of the year the colour is wonderful with leaves falling and the grass roaring green. Not keen on heavy frost and snow.
    Regards
    Joe.

    I like a cool bedroom as the fresher air is far nicer than in a warm room for me. Although on the flip side, I do like a warm ‘workshop’ as it motivates my mine and sole better.
    @billyandmollysdad, I’ve had our wood burner on too last night for the first time. It’s cold oooop north!

    I to like a fresh bedroom so I leave my window slightly open during the winter. In the garage I don't mind a little heat as it never gets hot and barely warm. But keeps my bikes warm. But in the garage I need my music mostly country or rock.
    Regards
    Joe.

    What's your thing. I don't dislike head banger music but only if things are going good as if I am getting bogged down with a job I end up smashing it. But I just love all music. And I would never dare copy you.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Hey I just was pulling your leg Joe. I’m into disco ish stuff, bits of jazz and more stuff I can dance to as I do ‘modern jive’. Head banging stuff is a no no for me

    Took the dog out this morning and the roof of my car has ice on the top and the fields were white over with frost.
    I suppose it’s to be expected as there was a clear sky last night and temperatures falling.
    Stood there staring at the stars and felt all funny :neutral:

    I do love Jive music love the tempo. If I am working here on the computer then I YouTube it. Disco music yes I listen to it quite often Tracy likes the disco stuff. Jazz I have a collection of it but all on tape so don't listen to it as much. Believe it or not I even like the tenor's like Josef Locke. So I must be a bit of a weirdo. I did know you joking. But the good thing about this forum is we can slate each other and we keep it simple like me it's accepted no grudges no animosity and that's great. You must be exceptionally fit as I have watched some of the jive bunnies and way more than what I could do for very long.
    Regards
    Joe

    Not raining? When I was there years ago in the same period it was chucking it down... If you get a chance go to Nikko - beautiful place this time of year.
