Reasons to be cheerful in midwinter

• Oranges are in season.
• I am reunited with certain favourite winter clothes.
• Underwear won’t show, so it doesn’t need to be chosen with any care.
• Cats choose to spend more time indoors.
• I wake with Andrew (not hours earlier).
• If the garden is tidied, it stays tidy—weeds don’t grow back.

There must be more.
