Brrr, it's cold in here.

Just back from three days in Northern Ireland with Julie's family. We left a cold, but dry, Edinburgh and arrived in a snowy Belfast with high crosswinds for the landing, which was even less fun than you might think.

Survived ok though, had a nice relaxing time and was well looked after, and have just arrived back in a flat that's at 12 degrees. Functionality for the next heating system I put in: remote control of the temperature over the internet, allowing me to tell it three hours ago that I'll be home soon, and I'd like to not have to wear my clothes in the bed until it warms up!
