Preparing for winter

[Hollis]

So, having shivered through 5 miserable months of bleakness last year, and been cold this morning I now intend to get my act together:

Actions:

1. New electric blanket covering the full fuck off bed -
2. Blankets
3. A selection of thermal microlite garments for the evenings
4. Ensure every light works - to keep the spirits up.

I am going to take no shite. Maybe those use to living in Arctic conditions could please assist with their advice.

Central heating is a no-go.. it doesn't work well enough.

I forget - one of them 'Laurel and Hardy' style nighcaps wouldn't go amiss either.

Another important accessory for you, Hollis.

Burn stuff.

How about one of those electric radiators I sometimes see in B&Q. As I understand, they don't put out dry heat like a fan and you can set the thermostat to a min - obviously they're room specific so ideal for a bedroom, maybe.

fly south.

A big fat kitty-cat to sit on you and purr?

It's important to cultivate a decent layer of blubber when preparing for hibernation, I've found. I've been working on mine for 39 years now and I confidently predict that it will see me through Winter in fine style.

three words for you:

hot water bottle

Winter can go and shit itself in a public place where eveyone knows what it did.


(Looking forward to my second best friend.....Autumn.)

But hanging on to the dregs of Summer to whom i apologise for not making the most of,...............AGAIN.)

I have put most of my energy this year into trying to put myself in a better place when Winter comes to visit,for the most part i have succeeded.
When i think about where i was last November and where i am now,i need to say WOW,more often.
(Just small achievements in the big scheme of things.)

The clocks will go back soon..........
(Stop all the clocks !)

I dread it.

What am i trying to say ?

I think it's this;
I want to try and welcome Winter but...........
