HATE WINTER.

[taimatsu]

I am wearing a long-sleeved, high-necked t-shirt, with a vest-top underneath, trousers, tights, socks and shoes, and I am STILL COLD. My fingers are freezing and my toes aren't any better. And this is in the house with the heating on.

What have I got to do to stay warm? It's not like I can spend all my time in bed (it was warm under the duvet and snugglyrug, for sure) or do household tasks in a coat and gloves. As it is I'm feeling really bad about leaving the heating on for a few hours, and am probably going to have to turn it off shortly.

I've got to wash my hair today, and that's going to mean a not-quite-warm enough bath, in a freezing cold bathroom, with steam coming off the water, and dying of cold when I get out.

And feeling so cold indoors makes me afraid of going outside, and I actually *have* to go out to buy laundry tablets, collect my new earmould and take a book back to the library. I am a cold and unhappy Lucy, and it's only going to get worse.

That so sums up living in the UK to me - here I'm warm and snug and the heating's decent AND included in the rent. And I have a shower, and if I had a bath, it'd have a decent shower attachment, not one of those rubber ones that refuse to stay on...

Put on a cardigan, another layer might do the trick? But the bath sounds horrendous! Sometimes I think they ought to bring bath houses back!

I have a knitted waistcoat thingy to wear over a jumper when it's cold. It works wonders!
