With these high winds I've taken the precaution of placing a thicker, warmer blanket & a couple of fluffy pillows over Dresden, wouldn't want him getting cold out in the MacCave.
I have probably missed something here mac but why is the bike called Dresden now ?? I know they make china there and it also got seriously bombed in WW2.
or is Dresden another spidery chum ?
