First sign of things to come

The sun stayed away yesterday. The impact on the temperature was instantly noticeable - a distinct drop. Suddenly we hit winter, forget autumn. By the evening we had to put the central heating on. My feet were ice blocks. They took several hours to thaw out.

Today is grey too. We left the heating on, telling ourselves if it did turn milder the thermostat would mean no actual heat came on. So far I'm grateful it did come on first thing. I'm only now beginning to think I should maybe switch it off. And that's after spending some time with the cooker on as I prepared the shepherd's pie for tonight. Yes, time has come for comfort food to stoke us against the cold.
