The windy weather has been persisting, although quite mild with it. But towards the end of this week the cold rolled in, with minus two degrees this Friday morning - ice on the outside windscreen and white frost on the inside of it - that’s a first!
One thing I have noticed in the cold weather, the fuel economy of the hybrid Rav 4 has taken a nose dive - because hybrids have relatively small battery packs when heat is needed quickly every morning - to clear the windscreen or just warm me up - it runs the engine most of the time from start up - the net result is by the time I reach the downhill coast from Queensbury to Halifax the battery is already full from the running engine - so I loose the downhill regeneration bonus. That said I’m still averaging better fuel economy then the Diesel Kadger while using cheaper petrol.
Back to work and it’s been another hectic busy week, with orders streaming in it’s been flat out roasting and shipping - I even filled the 40+ InPost locker on Monday night - with three parcels still left. And local deliveries are back to every day at the moment, which will only increase as the weather gets milder.
Some good news though, the office window finally has a new pane of glass in it - some 12 weeks plus after it was put through by some young thief. The boards are still on the outside though, no point removing them until after the weekend - then solid wire mesh is being fitted over both sides - to discourage anyone else trying to break in. The wire on the outside might not stop someone breaking the glass, but it will stop them getting through the space it vacates.

We had three nice days in a row here. Now overnight we are supposed to get some snow. Glad business is booming.👍
That’s a long time for the glass. Good idea to wait.
Have a great week.
Absolutely wonderful to hear that "orders are streaming in" at a time when most businesses are suffering.
Sorry to hear your office was broken into. I hope the thief/thieves didn't get away with anything precious.
