Wilfred produced David Frost Vs, the 6 part doc series last year - really excellent series btw. My neef was one of the editors.

Thanks for this, I will look it up.

Wow, usually snow skips our greenhouse central but now even here it's started! Predicted to be a few days of serious snow because of a polar depression on our area of Western Europe.

And whilst you get snow, we're getting fried... heated to a crisp... yoghurt can just be left outside to ferment and my 2 week old chicks may end up inside to keep them cool! They need heat for 6-8 weeks, but +40°C is more than they need. Even newly hatched they only need 38°C.. and you dock 3°C per full week of age.

That sounds like from Oxford, not Cambridge.

That's because I studied there.

No life threatening jobs for you then heh?
Come on, live a little!

I've got no idea what you were saying because I only understand words, not acronyms

Pretty clear on that.

No I looked up The CNBC guy Wilbert Frost who is a son of Sir David Frost before, that was his major I think.
I watch CNBC all the time so that’s why I’m keen on who’s on, and what they study, etc..

I miss Wilfred. He and Sara Eisen were a good team.

Hmm, does this mean I'm highfalutin now?

Interesting side note is my IP will hold that temp on some setting, have to find my notes.

Edit: I'm going to put this on my calendar. This is doable.

Don't tell Pippi! She'll want something other than beef cheeks and will want to have Sherlock and Bibi over, weekly.

Doodle will be fine, I can see her turning her fussy nose up at that, unless she stealing it, then she seems to have the standards of a bin dog
