hi everyone just to let you all know I am going ok .... Just to cold at night to be on the computer..and for some reason my tablet keeps signing me out of the online network I hope this finds the ratpack all going well and bring on the warmer weather where I will be online more ...

Glad to hear all okay Alice. x Yes...bring on the warm weather.

Fog has only just lifted here -5.8* here this morning How did you stay warm on your ride @primek

I was wearing blizzard dririder bike pants and jacket. (Triple lined )I was quite comfortable. Pete on the other hand was frozen as he's too proud to admit he gets cold now...haha.

Yep some people will not admit they are aging and therefore need more comfort in the clothes that they wear.

Too cold and too windy here in Victoria! Glad to hear all is well.

I can't complain about the weather at all. Winter in Burrum Heads, Qld is just wonderful. I still sit on my veranda of a night with my laptop and have a new knitted rug from my girl friend for my birthday for my knees and between hot flushes coat on coat off coat on coat off. I have been enjoying winter whiting dinners courtesy of our neighbours who have a boat. Nice side effect of catching limits is if they want to keep going fishing they have to palm off some fish to neighbours. :)

Am just back from 3 weeks in Cairns - blue skies, sunshine and warm - slept with just a sheet.Sure beats current weather in the Adelaide Hills -- strong winds , grey skies and cold - thinking of Cairns as a regular winter retreat come July/ August

believe it or not, I am envious of your cold weather! Lovely cool nights around 5 but by 10.30am we have warm sunny days and are looking at low 20's. I would just love to ditch my t-shirt and wrap up, but my winter woolies only see light of day now and then. Enjoy your beautiful 4 seasons :)

Have bought myself an heated jacket for the train travel to work. 12v battery, three heat settings, neck, top half of back, and hand pockets all heated. Only problem is now I'm so very toasty I fell asleep on the way home and missed getting off at my station :D doh!!!!! Kath @primek they were initially developed for bikes and can get an adaptor cord to plug into the bike, absolutely magic!!! Xx
