For spring, for me, I look forward to the better weather. I think a lot of people do. Obviously, the more like there is, the easier it is to have a more positive attitude and things and it allows you to go outside more and do more interesting things after a couple of months of being mostly housebound and braving the weather only when you really have to. In terms of what I am not looking forward to, perversely, I would say actually, as the weathering improves, you find yourselves doing a lot more varied activity and also a lot more generally, I find, particularly on the social and activity side of things, which can be tricky both in terms of managing your health if you have diabetes or a similar condition, and also in terms of just actually your general stress levels. can be a bit jarring to go from weekends of keeping yourself busy and being relaxed to suddenly having a full calendar. So it's a challenge that just needs to be controlled but that's the stress that comes with it is one of the things that I'm not looking forward to.
