In student days I seem to remember my then boyfriend putting out the paraffin heater by pee'ing on it. It's a wonder we survived those days, what with paraffin heaters and candles everywhere and our minds being in la la land most of the time.

Some of us admit to feeling not a little down in the dumps/fed up/emotional/p****d off at the moment and I wonder if it is to do with the fact that we are not getting our 
and vitamin D? We might expect to feel a bit like this in February after a long dreary winter, but mid-July? I don't have to worry about entertaining young children, my holiday was not ruined and I have gven up on the garden, so why do I find it so enervating to wake up yet again to raindrops on the window? To get soaked when Grace has her bedtime walkie? To want the heating on?
Oh for just a day or two of to make us all smile again
Did he mean to put the paraffin heater out? I mean, is that why he did it, or was it an accident? 
How odd! 
I know we old hippies had some strange ways, but I've never come across that one before!
Yes, it was getting every body down I think, My second daughter rang up one evening nearly in tears. I am really fed up she said, I am going for a sun week to Greece. Do you remember that one week when we had summer? lovely, That was the week she went to Greece. It turned out that her friends were browner than her. bett.
