    At least you are dressing the part. I'll just be wearing normal clothes cause I'm going to a nightclub in town and don't think I'd have the confidence to dress up :D

    I'm pretty glad with that outfit too, cuz it's got full length arms and legs so I shouldn't be too cold. Went out the other night in a dress and almost froze to death :eek:

    I have been dying the last few nights with the cold even with 3 layers and a massive bodywarmer. Might try pick up some thermals in town tomorrow.

    What I really need is one of those face masks. I saw some people with them in Dublin and they look fierce handy to stop your face being frozen.

    Ah I like studying. It's just I've a week where I've to do so so much which is overwhelming. 5 years of physics papers, 423 key terms in business, a 1500 word history essay and a stupid long english comparison among others.

    I’m nearly sure I’ve completely lost the capacity to learn new stuff.

    I'd prefer a mask. I used to have a snood and that was handy but looked silly.

    Have a look a tube bandanas. I use them all the time while rambling and cycling. They’re very versatile.

    I used to use a marino wool hood, kind of an open face balaclava when i was biking and working outside in winter.. Great piece of kit.

    Shpud that's not bad looking but i'd be wary of the material it's made of.. It's often something like neoprene or rubberised which doesn't work well in our mostly mild enough winters. Condensation..
