I'm glad none of you are with me now, it would be a shame to see a grown man cry.

It's just finished snowing outside my window here at work

I miss that sensation of real heat, and humidity, makes me want to go for a run.

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself Mort! Have an an ice cold beer for me

I have been sooooo busy.
But...I'm glad you got there safely and keep your hands off the women!
Miss you lots!

Hi Paul, Thanks to modern man and the internet at least your'e only at the other end of a puter, wer'e still here,the weather is typically British for this time of year,cold,wet and windy but it still rideable, unless you live in Yorkshire and the East Coast who are copping a packet of the White flaky stuff as we speak. Have fun, be safe and keep the Flag flying .Regards 4D

Morty. Yer'll be pleased to know I'm carrying on the blue tradition of drinking red wine in the garden shed (in my case posh summerhouse with 2 internet connections but principle is the same)

Things are just tickin' over here as usual. Didn't see any detailed info from you about Jerez. How was it for you?

Give us some fabulously graphic stories about life out there (I'm looking to crib some for my 3rd novel)

Hi Paul, Dont know where Fordie is but it's not rideable here in deepest Derbyshire. Sure you're not missing this bit of blighty.
The wonderful Nelly has at last got Jasper running superbly (it was me valves you know!! Just a bit out!) Been out on him once since then and Paul also took him for a spin and filled up the tank for me. So he's sat in the garage facing the door ready to get out. When that will be dont know, just been to the stables where I keep my horse and my jeep could'nt get up the drive! Schools were closed here too today.
Keep Warm and see you soon. X

Hi Mort
Nice to see you are settling in to the 30+ degree weather.
Were settling in to the minus something type today.
Just to make you happy it got down to -3 last night and is supposed to go lower tonight.
Gunna start a book to see how long it takes for you to buy a bike or at least borrow one.
DOnt suppose there are any tracks out there?????????
I hope you enjoy your time there and hope to see you soon mate.
Bestest
Geoff
