So cold last night that the bottle of (drinking) water in the car had frozen solid.

Its now above zero, hoping that is the end of the icy spell. I went for a walk earlier, how come you exercise different muscles when you walk in the ice/snow? Aching in different parts now.

Tofl, the water in our car dor has been frozen every time i have been in there diuring cold spell. I bought a bottle of wine for the store cupbpard and forgot to bring it in, the cold won't have helped that much, but otoh, not that much warmer in side so not optimum wine storage with changing temps in the house.

You also get better exercise value from walking a little slower than you are used to. ...just not the sMe cardio value. Changing speeds and length of step Works you in a different way. .


Our troughs didn't thaw but the hose did, so we turned water on, refilled with hoses from the feed room taps and then turned everything off again just in case.

I can't take codeine, it doesn't like me very much plus I didn't much like the drugged up feeling I got from it, I like to have a clear head to drive as I can't rest even when it is suggested by the doctor.

I did think about posting up the link to the band's performance last night but wasn't sure if it was against the rules, so haven't.

Ours went on and stayed on, but I had to replace one washer. Still, one out of ten's not bad.

It's raining here and the ten day forecast says no frosts.

My super fast tomatoes are up, and I think it's the right time to sow the peppers too.:D We've just eaten the very last of the Christmas toms, so actually bought some yesterday. The last of the peppers have also gone mouldy, so unless I count a few jalapenos, those are done as well.

It's the Hungry Gap folks. Parsnips, leeks and squash are still plentiful, though....and we are seeing a surplus on the egg front too at last.

For those of you with painful backs, my DW tried many people before discovering a physio who specialises in sports injuries. She proved by far the best for managing DW's condition.

Codeine's the very thing for back pain (or strong toothache for that matter). It was discussed over at the "tougher thread" where they were talking about how you need to take it after food, as well as reminiscing about the other drugs they used to use like cocaine for travel sickness.

It sounds like they're looking to limit its use as (who would have guessed it) it's potentially addictive as it's an opiate, so you might get questioned by the pharmacist if you keep going back for more. And rightly so!

it's good stuff, but it can make you go a bit loopy. last time this happened, i couldn't afford to take time off work because i was so busy, so i was eating codiene like smarties. couldn't feel any pain, but i was told to go home eventually as i was just sitting in the middle of the office spinning around on my chair, off with the fairies!

I wouldn't take it during the day. I think I had diclofenac for daytime painkilling, which was reasonably OK. Codeine is strictly a night time painkiller for me.
