Brrrr here comes the big chill.

OK, it's not quite a Big Chill, but it does start to feel pretty cool aroud this time of the year.

Oddly it feels much colder indoors than out. For the next 3 or 4 months Malta residents are likely to awake shivering in their beds before stepping outside into some nice bright sunshine (at least util it goes dark - currently that's about 5.30pm).

It's the way they build the houses - don't get me wrong you'll be glad of it in Summer but it'll get up your nose in Winter.

Today is November 3rd and I was very hot in my v-neck pullover this lunchtime - but I'll be chilly walking home. It's not COLD, I'm just acclimatised I think, I didn't need a big coat at all last year - except when I was sitting indoors watching TV!
