Thats not too bad for South Yorkshire
Better bring a nice sweater for just incase the t shirt isn't warm enough ..
The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

You bet Steve. :)

I've done my regular Thursday Covid test, and all is well.

I'm bringing my kit with me just in case.

I've got everything in the car, but I forgot to allow room for my suitcase. :shock:

It's got to come, so a bit of thinking needed. :oops:

I used to have a humongous Perreaux 2150B 400W class A amp in my workshop that used to idle at about 60C.

If it wasn't for the desk space and enormous electricity bills, it'd still be there.

It was perfect for keeping my coffee just right...

I to am using my solid state amps to warm the workshop. I was unsure about the cost, but thinking about it, they are close to 100% efficient (at generating heat from electricity) unless they are playing music.

I'm here !

Bad weather around Colsterworth, dark skies and a rainbow then WHAM, a burst of snow/rain/hail/sleet for a while, then the traffic slowed down. Was slow all the way after that till I turned off the A1 and came through Doncaster.

I'm in the main hotel and I've got a double bed. :D

Might have a hot bath before venturing down to the inn.
