Sorry this is a rather lazy question.

I planned to test out my brand new DSLR in the Wey Valley at sunrise this
morning but overslept. �Did any hardy souls out there see much hoar frost
worthy of early trip tomorrow ? �My back garden station (Burpham, Surrey)
indicated a min of -5.4c last night so no lack of cold air.

Air is too dry for heavy hoar deposits, probably be the same
on Sunday morning. Have fun setting that alarm for 05:00z

It's usually chilliest just at dawn, or just after is it not?

I tested out my old Ford Transit on some cooking oil about 06:30
morning in a nice crisp frost. It's still frosty now but the engine is
warmed.

I had a 50:50 mix of diesel and cooking oil in it and it started first
time.

I know it is going to be frosty each morning now until the end of this
spell and again next week apart from some cool misty weather in-
between. So I had better run the thing dry and fill with veggie oil
tonight to try it out again tomorrow before it is too late to sort it
on Monday.

I have no idea what I am going to do if it wont start. Take the fuel
lines off the injectors and pump it out probably. Sounds fun in a cold
corner. I'd better get a fuel container and a gallon of the real
thing.

Bloody politicians! Why can't we have a violent overthrow now and
again? (A very violent overthrow.)
