Quite the opposite here - we had -10 deg. Celcius frost last night in the
eastern part of the Netherlands. Rumours go around the old guys who had
looked to nature: they forecast a long cold winter. Many people are waiting
for the Eleven Cities Skating Tour in the province of Friesland, a distance
of 200 Kilometers.
This tour goes over lakes and canals.
A maxmimum of 5,000 people are allowed to take part of this tour.
Nice to do the same with MG's in summertime on the road....
Cheers,
Hans, who checked all antifreeze in his cars today and have the MGB GT
batteries under charge

Still grizzling about the slow start to Summer!
You know it's Summer in Australia when..........
* The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
* Hot water now comes out of both taps.
* You can make sun tea instantly.
* You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good brandingiron.
* The temperature drops below 35C and you feel a little chilly.
* You discover that in February it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.
* You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
* You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
* You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
* Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end
up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
* You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
* The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
* The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out
and add butter, salt, and pepper.
* Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from
laying hard-boiled eggs.
* The cows are giving evaporated milk.
* The trees are whistling for the dogs
