Cold

It's half dark, it's freezing cold, the forecast's for snow...

and we're full.

Four folk from Iowa, two Germans and our usual quota of deep frozen workmen. That's 11 in all which would be good for a weekend in summer, and pretty amazing for a Tuesday in November.

I have a cold. My patent rememdy of Green Chartreuse, Tio Pepe and Kalamata olives (not all at once) appears to be doing some good and I'm off to have a nice hot bath and feel sorry for myself.
