My secret to surviving winter

A lot of people will be fed up with hearing how cold it is over here. Tomorrow is going to be sunny and warm up a few degrees … to 5°C. I can’t remember the last time the day warmed up to more than that and I’m fairly sure it was before Christmas. But equally I’ve been listening to the people in NZ complaining about how hot it is and how hard it is to sleep when night only gets down to 22°C….

Enough, I cry. Enough of the complaining about weather, as Billy Connelly said there is no such thing as the wrong weather, only the wrong clothes. (I realise how hypocritical I’m being as I shivered in the office today in 3 layers of wooly clothing.) But still it must be time to stop complaining and to pick ourselves up and have another cold beer, or in my case a hot bath.

Admittedly that will be my third bath this week, but so far its the best way for me to cope with the cold. Plus the real reason for so many baths is Lush bath stuff. I’m working my way through the set, favourite so far is the Rainbow Worrier but its only occasionally available in their Retro line. Tonight, in honour of Valentines, I think it will be this pink frothy number, wish me luck.
