Far from being dreadful I found my walk today out in the cold, crisp
winter sunshine to be most invigorating. I defy anyone to disagree...

It wasn't much fun for me this morning: first making attempts to de-ice the
car in the dark; then driving on roads with lethal patches of ice, then
arriving at destination to find the autosampler frozen (despite being
covered) and a week's important environmental pollution study down the drain
(literally), and then again having to de-ice the car as the windows had
frozen up again. By now hands completely numb and unable to drive/turn on
lights/use indicators and the crappy French car's heater (company car, not
my choice) was completely useless and could only emit slight warmth after 30
minutes (thermostat changed recently and made no difference).

Definitely not my idea of fun and this cold is turning into a right pain in
the rear, though the sunshine was nice this afternoon.
