November

And so we move into November, the penultimate month of the year. This is often a month when weather conditions can vary within a week from freezing cold to uncomfortably mild. It is also the month when the winter colds and flu really get going. Its the month when winter really gets established and when you stsart contemplating the passing of yet another year of your life. November is one of those months that people get through rather than look forward to. A month both dark and dank. Its the sort of month where your free time is best spent beside a warm fire either at home or in a friendly hostelry with something warm and cheering to drink in your hand. Its not a good month for those on their own or for those whom the dark depresses. Perhaps this November we might all go out of our way to make their lives a little lighter.
