    Yeah, -4 out my neck of the woods this morning, de-icing the car at 6.15am was not a lot of fun, was the city centre before I had feeling back in my fingertips!!

    Still, beats the rain. We start back training the boys & girls teams tonight so will be hoping for clear (albeit cold) weather as not sure I could face a wet start to the season.

    Sleep pattern slowly inching towards normality for me so life is returning to normal, all I need to do now is keep work at arms length and all will be well.

    Chilly start here as well, car well frozen out there, will check temperature when dropping kids to school in a bit. Even though I don't think we get it quiet as bad as inland areas as we are close to the sea. Would take this weather over the wet and mild any day though.

    Hope all got through 'Blue Monday' ok!

    Blue Monday was an exceptionally crappy day at work for me, so it lived up to it's name! Roll on Blue Friday!! 😂

    Brrrrr, what a chilly morning. ❄️ ❄️

    Chilly but bright start to the day here. We are in the country so can go out and start the car a few minutes before we leave to let it warm up and defrost. Will try get out for a walk later - our local club are doing the "Every Step Counts" challenge so which I'm finding great motivation to keep the steps up!

    -3 out my way this morning. I am in the office today, so had to defrost the car at 6:30. I've already eaten my porridge and drinking my coffee now and I think I am just starting to thaw.

    As most have said though, I much rather the cold, crisp, bright days over the warmer, but wetter and windier ones. You can almost start to feel the Spring in the air.

    Beautiful sky out there got out for a walk earlier, I feel like I’ve reached the 3pm slump already and it’s not even lunchtime

    Definitely warmer in the sun. At least the washing I put out today isn't frozen like the sheet was yesterday morning!

    There’s something about walking out in that crisp weather it’s great for clearing the head 👌

    Just back from a lovely walk with the dog, the air is so crisp, love the cold. We are being promised teeny bits if snow but will see if they happen - usually don't.

    I use the water in the zip lock bag and it's very effective, plus keeps your hands warm while doing it.

    Fabulous cold but crisp day here in Cork. Went for a swim around lunchtime and it was cold but the sunshine made it very enjoyable. I've just started walking again as I've had lots of problems with my knee and hip over the last few months - almost an hour to do 2km but it was lovely to be out on an evening like this.

    Another beautiful morning out there, icy but clear skies. Very festive weather out there, did get the urge to play some Christmas music but did resist... for now

    They were discussing on the radio yesterday how January just seems to last forever I was nodding along listening to it. Yep every year it seems to take forever to get through it.

    Fair play on doing a sea swim in this weather, I wouldn't be brave enough to go for one in Summer let alone now!

    This day 2 weeks is Feb 1st, so for me whilst its not flying along it isnt dragging as much as it has in previous years. I think the fact we get paid again next wednesday 25th Jan helps soften the blow too though as I'm more looking at that date than the actual Feb 1st date.

    For me, this week is going by a bit quicker than last week. Last week felt at least 13 days long, and we're already mid way through this one.

    Also can't wait to get paid next week, we always get paid earlier in December, so it makes January feel even longer waiting for pay day to arrive.

    I have to wait till the last day of the month to get paid. Fortunately I have so much money that it doesn't really matter.

    Re-reading some of the old chat threads on here and I was 630 posts deep and realised I'm reading posts from 2013... which was 10 YEARS AGO!!!

    How in god's name was that ten years ago, it feels like yesterday.
