Bleurgh. The first proper manky weather of the winter is never nice. There’s a loss of innocence. October is all: “Oh heyyy I’m your crisp friend. Aren’t the leaves lovely?” and then when you’re at your most vulnerable, it changes. We should be ready but never are.

I blame the meeja to a certain extent. They act like winter is a surprise. There was a headline last week “RAIN AND FROST TO STRIKE IRELAND AS TEMPERATURES DROP TO ZERO.”
