I can tell this for two reasons. One is that I changed over to my winter quilt last night. I reckoned this would be a good idea, but I wasn't prepared for just how good it was; I slept like a log and feel ready to take on the world today.

The other, annoyingly, is that the Dension has begun to have trouble in the cold again. Time to start taking its hard disk indoors overnight, I fear.

Prue came round last night and I cooked her Mum's fish pie, and this time I really got the recipe right. Some days I think a passing layperson might find it reasonably hard to distinguish me from somebody who can cook :-)
