Beats broaching important stuff to friends, lovers, signifs etc.

Oh come on, not everyone does that ... some people use tablets and smart phones to post.

Must admit I do think that screen time can get addictive. But what else can you do when it gets dark at 3 p.m.?

3pm??? Hmm.. now you mention it, all those American women who move to the UK and post on UK Yankee about Seasonal Affective Disorder may have a point?? Nah, being able to buy proper bacon must make up for the short days..

It feels like 3 p.m. since the clocks went back, and it does get dark about an hour earlier up here. Won't be long before it is 3 p.m. Leave home in the dark, arrive home in the dark, from now until March

Weekend full Scottish does make up for it a little, mind you .... now, where did you say all those American women were????

Actually, by chance, a whole lot of them are in Scotland. Married to Scottish men.

Can you get Serrano ham where you are? We have to make do with US bacon and I buy Serrano ham to fill breakfast toasted sandwiches but bung it in the pan (ask for a thicker cut from the deli) on its own from time to time, just very briefly, for a change, and it works out well as a "real back bacon" alternative. Worth a try!
