Strange - I was thinking of doing my winterising thing.

I have just re-waterproofed all my jackets and trousers. Dug out my mitts.

I don't do anything other than make sure I have made a sensible schedule for the tyre replacement - new ones on around the beginning of December - and made sure that I have set aside time for services from the end of November.

I have asked for Oxford hot grips for my birthday this year (2 hopes of that I think)

The rest of the preparation is getting some decent reading in for the longer evenings. Have you thought of a dictionary?

Winter? Tsk. That and Gloomy Miserable Time - but I'll deal with it when it happens and not a moment before, and absolutely not in August
