[joebloggs]

Is it too early to put the central heating on?

there is a significant gender divide when it comes to feeling the cold, according to Mike Tipton, professor of physiology at the University of Portsmouth,

In low temperatures, he says, the body reacts by diverting blood to the vital organs, and makes the extremities - the head, hands and feet - feel chillier. Oestrogen makes the vessels that shut down blood flow to the skin more sensitive, Tipton adds.

As a result, he says, "it tends to be females that complain of cold hands and feet". While a woman's core body temperature may be the same as a man's, her skin is likely to feel cooler.

I still haven't posted the pics from Dumaguete/Siquijor/Bohol/Sipalay but that was because of the picture quality. My camera broke and had to use my phone - but if you want to see them, I'll upload them sometime.

I've also got vids of my last trip too.

I haven't scraped the windscreen yet this winter.

Scraped mine three mornings this winter about two or three weeks ago. Had quite a bit of rain these past weeks but no storms yet!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

Shhhhhhsh. We don't want any snow or ice ! :thumbsdown:

[Michael Parnham]

When walking this morning it was beautiful, everywhere was white, pond frozen, cars all white, ice everywhere and feeling lovely and fresh also as I arrived back home at daybreak the sky was amazing and on top of all that the dawn chorus was in full swing. Great start to the day! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[sars_notd_virus]

A bit frosty this morning:36_1_26[1]:

You need to invest in a tumble dryer Steve..Cheap to buy also cheaper to run unlike they were back in the day. The best £200 I spent :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I know it's wet but, I prefer this than the freezing cold and snow. April's not far away..still, im goin on my hols again in May so, not that long to wait :biggrin::xxgrinning--00xx3:
