Sunshine ...those are incredible pictures thanks for sharing them, especially the Big Ben shot! Did you zoom in a lot for that pic or were you able to get up very close without being arrested lol?

Involved pushing it from the storage building around to the garage, putting a space heater directly under it for 90 minutes, then cranking and cranking and cranking..... Bike does NOT like cold weather. Felt great to ride.
Ah $#@$, well that kills that idea then. As you know I really like the Bonnie, but if she is that cold a runner then... Maybe Canada can convince the USA to trade some cold land for some warm land? :D

I rode last week on my ZR7F, it started up really cold (6 cranks, drained the battery, a recharge and it went), it was about +5°C... I couldn't get it running this morning though to go out for a quick ride (+7°C here)... guess I'll have to wait till it's +11 again...

I saw flowers in full bloom yesterday here and April daff's comming up in the grass.

Thanks Hondagirl, I took that one. :D We were in central London that day taking my brother around (doing tourist things). That's a zoomed shot from right under it at the Westminster Tube exit 3. London is one of the places that I'd like to avoid causing any attention in.

Just till the end of September. Then back to Canada eh! :D

Hi Mike

OK. I conclude that you are either an optimist or are as yet not fully experienced in the ways of the British weather. At a guess, I'd say both. :D

The winter ain't over till the dice stop rolling, and that won't be till the end of March or sometimes beyond.

Moral: when in the UK make the best use of good weather while it is here. It may not last. On the other hand, of course, it may... And then again...!

Cheers

I spent the day decorating out my big spare bedroom. I've taken a lodger. His mum rang me up in a panic two weeks ago. His landlord was selling up and wanted him out. He's a nice lad, and he also has a dog! How could I say, no? He is a builder by trade and a hard worker by temperament, but he's about to have a change of career. He's been re-training as a carer. Versatile, eh!

Anyhow, I am covered in wallpaper paste, so need to go and sort myself out.

Worked another 13 hour day. Better the long hours now than when the weather gets warm.
