The weather...(I know!)

But... Its bloody evil down here.... AGAIN.... Strong coastal gales and driving rain for the umpteenth day in a row. It's thoroughly unpleasant.

I suspect we're not alone.

Started with hat,gloves,soft shell jacket under gore-tex outer but had to loose the hat and then I would've taken off the jackets but you have to carry them somehow anyway.
I was roasting ............ but a little over-prepared

I think 'being prepared' in Sussex involves an aqualung and flippers at the moment....

We went to brooklands New Year's Day meeting, and it had a titanic feel about it, everyone being very british and trying to carry on regardless of the gloom, it was horrible weather for it, fair play to all the classics that came.

Washed & polished/sealed/waxed (forgot the glaze!!) one of my cars today, the latter was all done under the shelter of a roofed arcade nearby & it was still fecken torturous cause of the gusts of wind & rain forcing themselves up the alley.

I hate this time of year, roll on spring time/summer!
