31.01.2026 Feels like -8C.

 ~?~

  Saturday 31st 30F/-1C. Grey, windy from the SE and cold. 61F/16C in the room. Greenhouse at 40F/4.4C. The trees and hedges are moving. It could reach -7C/19F tonight.

 Up at 7.40 after a busy night and clock watching for hours.

 8.40. I had better light the stove. 

 10.10 30F/-1C. Room at 64F/17.8C. Stove going well. Back from a loop along the drives. The wind was like cold knives cutting my face. It was cold and strong enough to blow through my layers. The DMI say 15 m/s gusts. That's over 30mph. Feels like -8C/18F. 

 Thoughts of my usual Saturday ride to the next village have been abandoned. It would have meant riding straight into the wind. Adding further to the wind chill factor.

 18.30 Another day of watching YouTube. It was far too cold to ride anywhere. I have been keeping the stove well fed. Getting though lots of logs. Now it is time to make some dinner.

 Beans on toast. 

 It was supposed to drop to -7C overnight tonight. Instead of which we are offered a balmy -6C/21F instead.
