It's regaling us with ice balls in a blasted gale. It is perishing cold outside and the heating has had to be switched on again. Domestic temperatures dropped too much and that is in a well, if not over-insulated house.
I have promised myself that I will go to the blood doning caravan that has arrived in town today. Who the hell wants to go out in these weather conditions otherwise! I must be barmy.

I 'doned' last week - it's always cold in the Axminster Guidhall, and my veins disappear into the warm, necessitating a lot of fiddling about by the nurse. A caravan sounds even more arctic.
(I tried to counteract it with a big bowl of porridge and banana before I set out, hoping for an opportune post-prandial hot flush. None was forthcoming, needless to say.)
