Really sick of this foul weather, either drizzle, fog or rain. Getting me down.

There are worse places, Siberia for example.

It could be worse. It could be snowing.

10 years of 4am starts on't Milk Rounds, working in all of the above, might not have suited you then.

Hats off to all the outside workers out there 🧐.

Agreed. I happened to be out this morning  when the bins were being emptied. Road like a river. They do a brilliant job, posties as well.

Spoke to a mate in Calgary Canada it is  -32C there . So I don't think we have much to complain about

I remember when I was a lad, we had something called "snow" that came in November, and often stayed until February.  It was so cold that you wore as much clothing as you could to go out, and big "wellingtons" - rubber boots that came up to your knees.  Even then, this snow often came over the top as you trudged through the stuff on your way to work/school/shops etc. 

 

They took forever to dry, as nobody we knew had central heating then, so you had to place them the right distance from the fire so they didn't melt, but the warm air could get inside to dry them, steam coming from them.  If they were really wet, you stored them filled with crumpled up newspaper first to soak up as much as possible.

 

We always woke with ice on the inside of our windows - no double-glazing in those days, and the temperatures were often well below zero.

 

Before you went out, you made totally sure your face was dry - if not, the cold got in and you got nasty sores.  You were unlucky if you had a cold, as you ended up with icicles from your nostrils.

 

Just checked the weather, and its +9 degrees, and it's been raining - wow!
