^I have a three-fold

attack: try and get as

much daylight as

possible, even if the

weather conspires

against me; keep up

with exercise (along

with everyone else!);

and make sure

there’s always some

extra dark chocolate

to hand. If all that

fails, then heading

off for some winter

sun always seems

to work!_
