Harsh winter looming-keep warm
The first Bewick's swans of the season have already arrived in Gloucestershire. According to folklore the early arrival of Bewick's swans means that we're in for a harsh winter. Time to dig out the balaclavas, I think.

to top it off I am of Asian persuasion and us brothers are designed for these harsh temps. Looks like I will be migrating back to Greece for the winter innit peeps.

Hope it gets cold and damp, then hopefully we will be busy.
Our house is warm all day even without the heating on. BUT then it is to be expected really considering what we do.

Have you ever seen the government advice for "vulnerable and elderly people" on how to keep warm? It's hysterical. I've been a vulnerable or elderly person for six years now and it still makes me smile, every year, without fail.
I think the crowning glory is the way they constantly contradict themselves. On one page, they advise you of how to seal up all the gaps. Clingfilm on the windows, keep the curtains shut, invest in draught excluders, get that foam tape stuff for the doorframes, stay in just one room that you keep properly warm. On the next page, they stress the importance of good ventilation and how you should keep all the internal doors and at least one window open at all times. I'm also sure the advice keeps changing on hot drinks. I know that some sources have told me "drink hot drinks, keeps you warm!" and others have said "don't drink hot drinks, makes you pee lots and you lose body temperature!" so I think I'll just stick with having a cup of tea as and when I fancy one. And a biscuit, dammit! Also last Christmas I was given a Slanket and a USB-powered footwarmer, which may not quite be the professional image I want to project, but I'm quite looking forward to using both of them as the chill sets in.
