Primera enfarinada (i sorpresa, perquè no l'havien prevista)

Humor anglès. Són uns catxondos!

Mireu els consells que acabo de rebre en un butlletí per a estudiants de postgrau de la universitat. Ens diuen què hem de fer per no passar fred. Si n'hagués de triar un, em quedo amb el tercer començant per la cua.


KEEPING WARM
Here are some top tips for keeping warm as the temperature plummets over the next few months.
• Make sure you have a warm, windproof and preferably waterproof coat.
• Get a hat, gloves and scarf and keep them on the radiator so they’re warm when you put them on.
• Wear sensible, warm footwear with good grip (flip flops are no good for a Lancaster winter!)
• If you’re really feeling the cold, invest in some thermal underwear or just wear an extra thin cotton layer next to your skin.
• Think about getting an extra duvet or some blankets.
• Eat breakfast as it will boost your metabolism and keep you warm for longer.
• Have a warm drink before bed
• Get a hot water bottle and put it in your bed 20 minutes before you get in (they do microwavable ones too if the hot water worries you!)
• Wear something in bed - even just shorts and a t-shirt will help - and bedsocks are brilliant
• Try and maintain a good diet with plenty of vitamins
• Smile! Winter can be beautiful and a smile will warm everyone around you too!

El primer glop de cervesa

Fa uns quants anys es va publicar un llibre (m'imagino que es podria classificar d'autoajuda???) que exaltava els petits plaers de la vida.
Un dels meus és una passejada pel canal de Lancaster.
Aquesta foto és de fa uns quants dies. Ara tot té un color més tardorenc (l'última tardor a Lancaster?).
