I've heard that Monday is expected to be unusually sunny and warm, for February. They are predicting it might reach 17 degrees C (around 60 degrees F, I think?), in southern England, so might be quite spring like. I hope to potter about in my garden and enjoy the long awaited sunshine.

I wonder if the fashion for using log burners has anything to do with the raised fog levels? (I'm thinking of all those foggy winters when I was a small child, when many people still...

Yes, it seems to be very common with people who have dementia, my father was the same. He would occasionally eat a proper meal, but most days he kept going by eating cake and biscuits, washed down with sweet tea. He sometimes enjoyed grapes too, and chocolate.
