Earth stood hard as iron

alongside llan'dod lake on 5th January 09.


Happy New Year.
It started before 2009 got under way but 2009 temps so far have barely peered over the zero degree celsius mark.
On a run up to Newtown following the teme valley road thro' Beguildy and Felindre the temperatures fluctuated between -8 and -12.

See this...!............................
I took this whilst en route (NO! I was not driving)
8 1/2 hours later and it was only -2!
It's about time we had some true winter temperatures.
Winters have hardly had the right to be referred to as just that.
They've been indifferent damp affairs which have been good for neither man nor beast.
I know alot of people don't want this kind of weather but, to me, it's the natural order of the day.
Let's hope for a better summer to follow this.

The sad thing is that people don't know how to cope.
Whilst i am being careful i just hope all my pipes survive intact.
Life shouldn't stop people just need to be wary of slip-ups as such.

Also, using the common sense that most of us are born-with wouldn't go amiss.
A chest infection rarely demands a 999 response! Esp. when the crew turning out to you are fighting their own chest infections and have got by without hitting those three 9s on their phones!


Farewell Dr Brian Davies former GP of this area who died last friday :0(
Great guy who so many could've and should've learned from...!
