Are there any particular challenges that tend to arise for you in the autumn months? Sorry, say that again? Any particular challenges that arise for you? Not really, no. And do you find yourself preparing physically or mentally for colder months ahead? I do, yes, I do. In what ways? Well, first of all, the house has to be properly, you know, central heating is working properly. That's the main thing. Car is working properly. And you've got to, you know, enough food and everything in case it snows or anything like that. Are there any changes in how you care for yourself or engage with health services during the autumn? Not really, no. What kind of support or guidance would be helpful for health care professionals to give at that time of the year? For instance, it could be practical guidance, it could be emotional guidance or planning for that season. Normally I get all those things from my friends and my families. You know, we get together and we talk about it. So with the community, it's just a class that I often do on Wednesday that helps as well.
