It really is about time that winter came. Sure I have enjoyed the long summer and autumn, but this hovering around the zero mark, slush, melting snow, sleet and or icy pavements is enough. The wind has turned me into a mobile chemist. Nozoil, lip protector and hand creme. Enough. The discoball, meant to replicate the sun in this dark period of the year, is not working. I think its emergency sunbed time again.
