I've just spent a quarter of an hour finally shifting the patio furniture into the shed for the winter (just in time given we're under an amber warning for snow on Sunday night) and it's bloody nithering out there  (cold brings out my inner northerner). Alexa is claiming it's 3C, but it's 3PM and the overnight frost is showing no sign of lifting so I think she's lying to me.

I had the usual problem of trying to fit four chairs, a lounger and the patio table and umbrella into a small shed already filled by the lawnmower, but brute force and ignorance triumphed in the end (literally, I had to shoulder-charge the door to get it to shut that last inch to let me get the padlock in place).

I think my breathing may settle back to normal in a half-hour or so (currently working on sinus bug number 4 since the start of October), but in the meantime I feel the need for comfort food and hot coffee, possibly with something in it!
