Weather continues to be weird - I was out pretty early this morning, and whilst it was still pitch black, there was no breeze at all, and the temperature gauge on the car said 8 degrees. I think we might be getting a couple of days off from the wind and rain, but no doubt it will be back with us pretty soon.
Still, at least we aren't in the US, the majority of which seems to be experiencing some alarmingly cold weather at the moment. The forecasters showed a map of the USA last night, and Florida was pretty much the only bit that wasn't coloured in blue!
The 2014 reading challenge is properly underway - finished my first book last night - the eighth and so far last in the Mole series. It would be great if there was another one to continue the saga (and in fact a quick search suggests that there hopefully will be some more on the way, although not entirely sure when given that this article is from May last year).
Speaking to Mum this evening, it sounds like I do have a companion in the reading challenge, and so, Mum, I will introduce you to the delights of recording things on Goodreads asap (Dad - get Mum's netbook up and running or failing that get her a new one !!!).
