It's baltic in Gloucester

Don't let appearances deceive you - even on sunny days in Ottawa, it is freezing cold - or "baltic" as we used to say in Liverpool. 

Took full advantage of being invited round to Mitch's for a BBQ to get plastered and give my legs their first outing of the new year. As it's almost midsummer's day, you'll appreciate I don't get out much.

Other than the food, the drink and the good company, the highlight for me was watching Ottawacker Jr. try to get into and then out of the hammock.
