Get back on track people or lose it !
Either people want the thread trashed or they will let the OPs subject matter continue. It's up to you people.

Let's have another go.

Got me thinking, what do I do with my days off now? Quite got into the whole lounging in the sun thing. I've just joined the library so I can get hiking, sorry, tramping books out for walks around Junta del Jafa, but what else do us psuedo-kiwis do till its togs time again??

I've noticed a few of the locals have already got their wood burners going in the afternoons There has been just that little touch of snow on the hills the past two mornings.

Two weeks time and it is open duck shooting season. Not that I intend to involve myself in this ,but it shows that Winter is nearly upon us.

We'll try and get in at least one days skiing during the Winter if we can afford it. There are loads of walks we can do now the sun is less fierce.Perhaps a weekend to Hamner is in order soon.

Turn the lights on or change your glasses.
Stick on another vest. M&S are best

(Take a blanket day, it sounds like you've been working too hard and need some nice time for yourself)

It's getting a bit colder here too, still have the windows open at night though so not too bad yet.

You're right, it's hardly winter at all yet. Officially still over a month to go before we get any serious winter weather.
