Had reports of bad snow in Merseyside, and bad snow in Wales, but here in this part of The Wirral we've only had a scattering (although it's as mightily cold here as elsewhere). We seem to have got off really lightly so far.

Was at the in-laws yesterday in St. Helens. 5-7 inches lying in the undisturbed places.

Only about 2 inches at home.

-11C this morning

I decided to reduce the tyre pressures on the family car by 30% after a couple of emergency calls. Heavy foot syndrome and absolutely no bleeping idea. :roll:
 
Was -13C here this morning. Shower pipe (which is in the garage for some reason) froze up solid. Feck it's cold. This is south Cheshire, we seem to be getting it light compared to other areas.
 
Supply or standby whatever one it is just like to say thanks to all of you that work on the boats,we can sleep soundly in our bunks offshore knowing you guys are first on the scene if something should happen.
Cheers

Cheers Scotty, I'm on a supply boat, a bit more variety. I think it takes a certain mindset to stay on a standby boat for 4 weeks.

Seasickness feels like the most evil of all illnesses when your suffering. I'm regretting that cream doughnut I had before!

2 weeks on 3 off is a great rota, we do 4 on, 4 off. And there are guys who get 2 on, 4 off!

I'm home on Jan 11th. I'll be in the mood for Christmas then. :lol:
