Are there any particular challenges that tend to arise for you during the autumn? Just the change of daylight hours, obviously not driving quite so late into the evening, but I like the autumn, I like the colours. I don't, I don't feel, and it's, again, it's gradual, it's not so instant that you have to change your whole life immediately. I think that's what's important. Would you expect us to think it's different? Should it feel different? I think some people might find that it's a little different. For instance, when it gets colder, I sleep less. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then I'm not a person that totally worships the sun. I mean, my favorite, when I learned it as a 21-year-old, favorite holiday was to go skiing. I mean, you know. And one year, we skied in the south of France. We'd unheard of that before. But when we were booking, my friend said, should we go somewhere different? And we saw this resort in the south of France. So in January, you actually fly into Nice Airport, which is like being in the summer here. But then you go up the mountains in a coach that doesn't do anything else but this, loop all the way up. And the skiing was amazing. I mean, you're way up, you're in the south of France, but you're so up high. But coming home, so the coach, which had taken us all the way up into the mountains, is taking you down. And it was the most scary coach ride we'd ever had. The coach driver stops at the bottom of the mountain run to let people get their legs back, because even though you were sitting, you think, oh my God, this is terrifying. So skiing was much more my sport. And you can be sitting in the sun in the ski resort, whereas I never liked going to hot, hot resorts where I've done it, but it wouldn't be my first choice. So change in the weather in England for me is, I can manage better. I'm not in the, I'm not a heat addict. Yes, it gets colder. I can't work very wrapped up. I'll put lots of layers on before I go out or even at home. I don't feel the central heating has to be on whackingly high. I'd rather be dressed to cope with it. But do you say that that's what you normally do to prepare for the colder weather? Yeah, yeah. That I'm looking at what clothes I can wear and layer them and things like that, you know. I'm not just thinking the central heating will go on or it'll have to be higher, it'll cost a lot of money. And I've definitely found if you wrap up well enough at home and doing some activities as well that it's adequate. It's when you want to sit around for a little bit that you think that's a bit cooler. So I might put the heat on then but I'm not, you know, I'd rather get dressed up warmly first. you
