How to get through the changing seasons: Summer to Autumn

 

How to get through the changing seasons: Summer to Autumn  




Every year it’s always the same…

‘How is it 8.30pm and it’s dark?!’

A few days later…

‘How is it 8.15pm and its dark?’

72 hours later we look outside and say with udder disbelief…

‘What’s the time? Is it only 8.10pm and it’s dark already? I can’t believe it! How has this happened Jeremy?!’

It seems we get a bit of summer (usually 3 weeks or so), forget that the seasons change and then cannot fathom that the sun goes down earlier and earlier each night, even though it happens every year without fail.

‘It will be Christmas before we know it Jeremy! Jeremy?! JEREMY are you listening to me? I said it will be Christmas before you know it, it’s 8.10pm and it’s dark outside!’  

The change from summer to autumn hits us hard, we don’t want to give up summer and autumn comes like a pumpkin pie in the face, but it’s all ok I’ve got your guide for How to get through the changing seasons: Summer To Autumn

1. Accept it is going to get darker and darker, earlier and earlier. It’s a fact, just like Yorkshire puddings with Jam are a taste sensation and Adam Rickett’s single ‘Breathe Again’ is under rated.

2. Get your snuggly clothes out and on as soon as it starts getting dark, but perhaps make sure it’s when you are in the comfort of your own home, not everyone needs/wants to see your cuddly koala onesie. It’s cute but Phil in HR will probably crush your fluffy soul with one disapproving look, no one needs to get fired with Christmas around the corner.

3. Make the most of the longer nights at home and try a new hobby from the comfort of your sofa. Use what is around you, for example if you have pets you could have a go at:

Crafting with cat hair: Crafting with Cat Hair   

Train your goldfish: How to Train Your Goldfish: Tips & Tricks | Hepper

Or you could use your own body:

Human hair art: 57 Human hair art ideas

Actually that is a bit out there, for something less creepy you could try Mooing...

Does the name give it away? Mooing is where you try and sound like a cow. Don't laugh, there are competitions in America if you get really good. Hobbies don't have to be boring, think big, think huge, think moooosiiive. 

4. Indulge yourself and find the funniest beauty mask possible, you could be Cruella De Vil for 20 minutes, or perhaps Kermit the frog is more your style? There is even a pigs in blankets face mask available from Boots Read My Lips Pigs In Blankets Printed Sheet Mask - Boots 

You could while away a few hours just looking for the weirdest one,  plus they would make brilliant secret Santa presents, so you would be productive by getting ahead of the game...unless you are one of those really organised people who finished all of your Christmas shopping months ago, how do you do that? It's such a skill! I hope it's on your CV. 

5.  Look forward and take in the changing season around you, enjoy the calm before the snow storm of Christmas, appreciate the fact we had a pretty good summer this year and if all else fails this should amoose you...

What do you call cattle that tell jokes?
