Hi bun bun, Taurisk, Margaret, et al, I have my heater on, my wool-lined slippers, two woolly tops, two wool leggings and am aware of the draft coming through the door behind me (despite it being closed). I am slowly packing my little bag, throughout today, ready for a little holiday. It won't be free from downsides, one of which is occupying the back seat of a car with a woman who is even more deaf than myself and certainly with a voice-tone which resembles Consuela's parrott. OK, I am just guessing that the parrot can achieve lady's pitch and squark sharpness, but can't be certain of this. Moreover, driver has the "I-am-a-little-girl" whisper in her voice, thus I will never be part of any conversation in said car ever. On, and third passenger always commandeers the front passenger seat ALWAYS. So, there is my complaint for the day and I am even voluntarily going away with them!!!
