Winter
After scraping the ice off my car this morning I decided that winter is well and truly here. For some of us this means a magical time when we make Xmas cards, sing carols and learn how to make mince pies. For the rest of us who are over the age of 11 it means freezing walks to the bus stop or spending 10 minutes every morning trying to defrost the car and getting your fingers stuck to the steering wheel.
Winter is a perilous time. You spend each daylight hour ensconced in an office and leave in pitch darkness, either back to a freezing house (you can’t afford the heating these days) or down the pub, where at least warm air is paid for by someone else. Outdoor activities are basically a no-go and all that’s left is drinking and The One Show. It’s no wonder winter sees the highest level of suicides during the year.
What can we do to dispel the winter blues? I’ve found the solution…The Slanket! You may feel stupid wearing it, until you realise that no-one will see you and you don’t have to tell anyone.
Slankety goodness!
