Temperature’s in Centigrade for a bit
Just so it doesn’t come as a massive shock, I’ve switched the weather widget in the footer to Celsius until it stops being so cold. Fahrenheit breaks down into an intuitive decimal system when it’s hot (70s = lovely ta, 80s = unpleasantly hot, 90s = grim, 100+ = awful, awful, awful. Awful.) but when we’re below freezing it makes no sense at all. It’s -6°C at time of typing which it turns out is plenty cold enough to turn a forgotten bottle of sangrita into ice in the boot of the car.

It was so cold this morning, my furnace gave its two week notice. #coldmorning #SLC

Sponsor me little sis
We could all take a leaf out of me little sister’s book. But not in January, ‘cos turning 38 is going to require a pint or three. Plus one for the road. Follow along on her (surprisingly-well-orchestrated) social media campaign and pledge a few quid to help a good cause.
OK so it’s not running a marathon or anything, but I’m going alcohol free for January to raise money for Alcohol Concern. Can I interest anyone in signing up? http://www.dryjanuary.org.uk/
Or sponsoring me? here
Or following my very basic blog which I have been unable to sync to my fundraising page? http://bethanfisher.wordpress.com/
