Winter is here

Post by Kwacky »

Cold roads and banks of rolling fog, drivers with misted mirrors and rear windows, wind chill on the neck, frozen hands and water eyes.

Roll on spring.

In the car today (and most of this week) and i was quite pleased. The low sun is a nightmare too on the bike or car.

My dog isn't a morning hound when it's cold. He doesn't get up until the house is warm.

i wish mine were. I'm the asme as Rossgo, out at 5:45am walking them in the freezing cold and pitch black. My dogs like routine, and there's no way they will settle without their morning walk.

Still, it wakes you up.

I stepped out last night and felt a chill in the air. Mind you, it had dipped to 28°!

I love being out early, to be honest I'm an early bird and my dog can become a lazy bitch n the mornings but when get out the door she wakes up and she goes into routine mode!
