What is it about the cold grey skies of autumn/winter that makes me feel happier than the sunny days? Maybe it's the warm van and the headlights making it feel Cosy. Add that to some good music and driving to and from work can be quite pleasant. 
I heard another nonsense proverb....
"there's none as blind as those who refuse to see" I was told the other day. And I said "yes there is there's the blind for a start". 
The conversation ended there. 

I continue my community service for going to Bolling Hall tonight by washing down the Walls in the front room. Then my wife is going to decide if a paint job is needed. I was shown two pairs of curtains at the weekend and forced to contribute an opinion. The ones I liked the least are up. I judge curtains not by colour but by how much light they keep off the tv.
