How’s the weather?

Personally I think all those type of "survival" shows are total shi*e. And the worse one of the lot is Bear Grylls.

They always try to make the viewer think there is some kind of terrible jeopardy going on, that their lives could end at any time.

They are being filmed for god sakes. Medical staff are on high alert and no doubt they have an helicopter ready if needed to take them to hospital.

Their lives are in no more danger than mine and young Esox in the back garden (fully clothed by the way).

I'd like to see Bear Grylls thrown out of an helicopter bollock naked in the frozen tundra of the Arctic. Then return a week later to see how he fared.

That would be a gripping gnarly TV survival show. Though survival is definitely the wrong word to use, lol.

Sun’s out, looks like storm has passed. Someone came out for breakfast.

Man, I love temperatures like that...especially when someone else is getting them!

We're currently at -10C, with dead calm air. Just came in from a morning walk with Duke, whose half-Lab genetic make-up has blessed him with a thick, warm double coat...so he loves winter and especially loves playing in fresh white fluffy snow.

This is the only way I can look at snow and think, "now that is beautiful". A Christmas day picture postcard type setting, lol.

I love these type of images as it's nearing Christmas, but the reality of snow is obviously nothing like what's portrayed in this image. Ho ho ho!!
