Hi Jo!

You are so sweet ..... thanks so much for posting, these puzzles are the standby of all RSDers! People have varying to reactions to them, but then people have varying reactions to RSD They're always worth a perusal, always got something new to say, because RSD develops so differently for everyone.

I've been lucky so far, it's not too bad, flares up now and then, but then I'm only 2 years into it. A good reason to stay in a warm climate for me, can't stand cold weather. But we do get a winter here in Hong Kong. From December to May it's between 5 - 12C, need socks and sweaters.

How do you cope with the cold? People on this forum have come up with all kinds of gadgets and ideas in the coupla years I've been here. My own personal favourite is something I got in Bangkok, of all places - pair of duvet bootees, look exactly like a pair of small sock-shaped duvets (like a baby wears - I've got *no* pride when I'm cold!) filled with goose down. Heaven. (Expensive, though..)

You can tell I'm a Brit, can't you, going on about the weather, hehe. Well, end of a gorgeous sunny Sunday for me, but I've got work to finish before tomorrow, so I'm going to take a break and watch my weekly TV treat. Battlestar Galactica...

Just saw your post and was struck by what a thoughtful gesture, the puzzles.
Spect I'll be back tomorrow...
all the best, happy Sunday!
