I was born during a very cold February (and therefore love the cold weather) whilst she was born during a warm June (and therefore loves the warm).<br /><br />Whatever the validity of the theory, in my case it is true.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-58357516432865165632012-05-26T01:07:51.646+01:002012-05-26T01:07:51.646+01:00I'm not good in heat, so my sympathies to anyo...I'm not good in heat, so my sympathies to anyone who has to deal with heat they don't want.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-69583193358794358582012-05-25T19:47:46.941+01:002012-05-25T19:47:46.941+01:00Joppy,

Paint practicaly dries on the brush. I can get some woodwork done, though. Never mind, two whole weeks of rain soon when Wimbledon starts.

This is one of the reasons I refer to winter as my campaigning season! <br /><br />In summer, on an average day, its often comfortable until about 10 am, early rising is required to get a game in.
