Winter depression?

[Harry]

Well for the time being, I had another stressfull evening, late in the night I walk with my foot to the bedside, and broke my little toe, so I had to go to the hospital. Its a little thing, but it hurts as hell. Keeps the depression away though......
But walking of course is difficult. My Meridian 508, 24 bit player decided to take a break and I've got as a replacement a Denon DCD 1560, 20 bit, and yes you hear the difference. O, dear......
Probably will not get it back before the end of the year...bugger.

That sounds really painful. Hope your toe recovers soon. Whilst on holiday in Tunisia two years ago I fell over (whilst sober I point out) and broke a bone in my foot. Had to spend most of the holiday in plaster. Which was not pleasant in the Sahara Desert!

Well they said it could not be plastered, so its in bandages to protect it, but while sleeping I awoke regulary because of the pain. That is a real nuisance, for I am a very active guy. Workout will be difficult too.
Something like that happening on your holiday seems to me a real disaster, Sahara or not!

I hate winter.  It's so cold in the UK right now I'm sitting in the fridge to keep warm. 

At least we're past the earliest sunset now.  Even if it is just seconds later each night this month, that's better than nothing.

Harry, hope you toe (and CD player) heal soon.

Again the food brigade is wrecking another thread, so I close it temporarily.
Thanks for all the good and helpful postings.
I remember each and every one of them.....

The clear implication is that a bit of good food helps stave off winter depression, whether it's polenta or a cheeseburger. (Though I like polenta considerably more than our friend Josquin.) 

But I hate winter too, with the cold and the short days and the snow and ice. Give me spring, summer, or autumn any time!

Henry is tired of the winter,
& haircuts, & a squeamish comfy ruin-prone proud national
mind, & Spring (in the city so-called).
Henry likes Fall.
He would be prepared to live in a world of Fall
for ever, impenitent Henry.
But the snows and summers grieve & dream.

Substitute Sarge for Henry. The only time I love winter is when I'm in the mountains, on the ski slopes. Alas, I rarely ski these days.

Thanks I will tell them.....

Yeah every year I get depressed around this time too, between half december and half januari. The rest of the year I'm happy but then it just comes up and takes me down. I got really depressed yesterday evening, and I solved this by getting drunk together with a friend and talking about the good old days; now it's gone. I think the worst will come after christmas.

No music can fix this.

[Solitary Wanderer]

Autumn/Winter are my favourite seasons. I'm happiest sitting inside on a wintry day with lots of rain and wind lashing the house while browsing books with my fave music playing. I feel it brings me closer to 'nature'.

I wouldn't like snowy winters though

Yes, me too!

I don't mind the short days though. As Ms Marceau says "Mes nuits sont plus belles que vos jours" 

[George]

Yes, me too!

Tell me, when will you be moving to Bel Boca Vista, Phase II?

Maybe your son will buy you a Cadillac and you can drive down there. 

[Norbeone]

Watch The Snowman, or listen to Howard Blake's respective score.

And once we're there, we can drink hot chocolate and wrap our electric blankets

Right, let's talk about why you are so depressed because you want to become a banker.

Yes I did. My dreams were shattered because I could never become a banker. But I was over that soon. I became an architect. Have you seen the new addition to the Guggenheim?

Did you do that? I heard the guy who did that was also responsible for eating an eclair out of the garbage.
