All 5 cats are in the front room slumped in front of the woodburner. until I have to open the door to put more wood on then it is for a while til

The rain water that sits on my garage roof freezes, I can smell people`s log and coal fires (sods, gas is so boring!), I can see my breath on the commute to work, and I have a decent outlook of the open fields behind my house because the trees are now bare

I was feeling a little overdressed wearing a nice winter coat whilst standing in the immigration queue after flying to Brazil.

To be fair on the car, it's 13 yrs old now and since I retired, it only gets to go out about once a week. So to keep him happy, bought him a new battery and now starts like a young'n.

Don't personify the car. He doesn't like it.

Solar trickle chargers are very useful when you drive less. I started to have problems with the car not holding charge, so I took it to the dealer (the battery was still under warranty) and they said they'd never seen a battery in such poor health that still started the car and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not because it probably delayed spotting the battery failure. Apparently, list price for those batteries was three figures

Car wouldn't start - flat battery.

Ctek battery conditioners are also a good choice

.............. the geese arrived for their winter holidays and remind me every day as they fly over between their dry land and shore feeding areas.

John Lewis ruin another great song with a wistful cover version sung by a waif.

People drive as if it's summer and the ice means nothing.

...as opposed to driving like complete violets the rest of the year.

Bike with spikes on moved from shed to garage.
Buying a torch for walking the dog.
Puddings instead of cakes....let me rephrase that, more puddings less cake.
Getting to the pub in the dark instead of just leaving in the dark.
Trying to remember when I last recharged the batteries for the bike lights.
It gets dark earlier.

It ceased to be a great song the moment Oasis performed it.

Our Greyhounds have their pyjamas on at night. We have our fingerless mitts on to go for walks.

Do they have slippers as well?

I'm looking at 2-3 inches of icy snow, I'm convinced. Although it should warm up later this week. If this is going to be one of those winters, I might as well look in to going to Florida in February. Or Cuba.
