I know we have been lucky in that the start of October was mild, and that now we are back to more 'seasonal' temps ..BUT, I don't know if it is because I've been used to being relatively warm, but now it's plummeted I can't seem to adjust.I've felt really chilled the last few days and have felt cold in bed.I feel it's 'Too early' for me to feel like this and I don't really want to take any of my winter measures just yet !! Is it just me ?

Heating on here morning and evening but last evening I had to turn the thermostat up.
10:5 tog duvet on but it is slightly too warm.

Wood burner lit this afternoon. Went to sleep directly in the warmth .

The heating has switched on a couple of times as it is set for 19 year round.
Yesterday we drove to Somerset from Bedfordshire and I kept an eye on the temperature - Swindon was the chilliest place on our journey at 4C at about 7 am.

I have been wearing gloves when out and about and a jumper indoors but not too chilly out of the wind.

The east wind has been very cold especially today. The house feels very draughty. I have just put on some thermal socks to wear in bed. If my feet are warm the rest of me joins in.

A couple of weeks early Rocketstop, depends on the year.

Did some gardening and had coffee out there…but with body warmer on and an awareness of icy breeze.

Still wearing sandals with thick thermal socks (🥹), full heating on for two hours, oil filled radiator for after and heated throw for feet.

Cats both curl up sleeping against me, and 15 tog duvet on the bed already.
