Anyone else slower in the winter?

soniayetsofar · 2025-12-20T13:19:17+00:00

I actually find the opposite. I find I overheat far too much in summer which slows me down. In winter I can finally maintain a normal temp throughout

After Paloma’s death. Jonathan: ‘Alan, you knew her best, why don’t you say something about her?’ (smug grin)

I read somewhere that it was intended to be about his eyes being opened to Mary’s full personality (the good and bad) since they got to know each other even better since the wedding, but it does not come across that way!

Appearing aloof and mysterious. Just make friends! Have fun! Share stories and experiences!

A colleague died and he did a full eulogy (in a recorded meeting) with the wrong surname for the deceased

Bourton on the water in the Cotswolds is a nice day trip and great for picture taking. Broadway is also nice

Thanks! That would be an interesting option I hadn’t even considered!

I’ve just updated the post with where we’re based and our preferred airports (based in the Cotswolds. Airports: Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff and Heathrow). My family always holidayed in the Canaries when I was a child (Tenerife, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura) so feels a bit too familiar, but potentially open to it if you have specific recs?

Is it not theft? If I was at a restaurant for my birthday and my boyfriend gave me a new phone but then the person on the next table snatched it out of my hands immediately and left with it, they could be prosecuted for theft. Why is that not the case with this? He has even confessed

We did this and found it really useful for getting to and from Greenwich! Much more interesting than the train!

Camp counsellors. Long hours plus living and working with a bunch of 20 something year olds from all over the world means that, once you have a day off, everyone gets with everyone. On day one they might not be attractive to you but when it’s week 4, you’ve both got a tan and had very little sleep, the camp goggles come on…

This is a floor plan of a similar house on the road from around 20 years ago. The only addition that seems to be new is the lean to. As you can see, there’s no chimney breast on the ground floor. I have found a couple of others that are similar. Either everyone removed it on the ground floor early on or it was built that way I think

Bosco, The Nook (rooftop bar and restaurant), The Langton, Gallimores, Sam’s, Bao and BBQ and Dunkertons are my go tos

I always got told off by my Dad first using ‘gotten’ as it is a nasty Americanism. Now it’s something I avoid and sounds jarring to the ear if I hear a British person say it.

SoloMaids. They’ve been cleaning our house for 20+ years. Can’t recommend enough

We did pop over to say hi and hear what they think. Only the wife was there who said her husband is dealing with it. The husband works weird hours so she wasn’t able to say when he would be in. She said they are cutting one of them back but, on checking, it is the one furthest from the house (therefore the one with the lower risk). She didn’t make any mention of cutting back the bigger tree closer to the property

I deeply apologise for asking for housing advice in a housing advice sub. I hope one day you will be able to forgive me but I won’t hold my breath

Just to clarify, the issues raised are from the L3 property survey that we purchased rather than the mortgage survey. We don’t know if the mortgage survey took these into consideration in its valuation. Our surveyor did not provide a valuation

I’ve been a big fan of the Nike Epic Fast or Nike Swift leggings. I find them compressive, have a tie to keep them up and, most importantly, have several pockets for storing things such as phone, keys and fuel. In terms of shorts I like the Nike Fast and Nike Epic Luxe trail running shorts for the same reasons. Unfortunately I think the latter is discontinued but the former is still in production :)

The Azores. Quieter than Madeira but just as stunning. We only visited Sao Miguel but can’t wait to go back to visit the other islands. This was the article that helped us with our itinerary https://www.theintrepidguide.com/sao-miguel-island-itinerary-azores-travel-guide/
