All dressed up and no place to go

The weather found a new indignity to inflict upon me this morning. I tottered out of the house (after 15 minutes looking for the keys, Mondays really do hate me) wrapped in thermal underwear, clutching winter gloves and wearing a BMW winter jacket two sizese too big for me, ready to laugh in the face of sub-zero air temperatures .....

...only to find that I couldn't get the key in the locks of my Metal Mules.

Unwilling to balance my harp bag and the netbook PC I was taking back to Comet on my lap, I had to scrape the ice off the car instead. And then drive with the windows open so as not to boil like a lobster.

You had an excuse....I find it astonishing when I see what people wear to step out of the house and into the Bean Can! They are usually the same ones seen along Wisbech High Street at midnight on any frosty Saturday in January, rat-ar5ed and wearing nowt much at all!!

I have a similar problem about going to the loo: 10 minutes zipping up the trousers to my jacket over the back protector, a further 10 minutes getting the gloves on etc etc, then - ding dong - bladder calling.....

1. Extension cable and hair dryer.

2. Kettle of hot water.

3. Dribble some WD40 in to prevent it happening next time.

Boil-in-the-bag biker - I like it.
