It is the second week of October, the nights are drawing in and winter is around that corner. How did that happen?

I’m still wearing my Hawaiian shorts, my beige socks and sandals firmly in place and I’m firing up the barbecue. This can’t be right. Summer is over already? This year seems to have flown and the shops already filling up with Christmas stock.

They say that with age comes wisdom, but doesn’t time also seem to go so much quicker the older you get?

I bet we all started off the year full of good intentions. The New Year’s resolutions went out the window in the second week of January and now, in a few months time, we do it all over again. Now that’s a scary thought.

But, personally, my main concern is this.

Has anybody been out and checked if we have enough grit for the whole inch of snow that will grind the country to a halt this winter?

Some of us need to keep moving you know, people to see, places to be…. the life of a comedian never has time to stop for the weather!
