hiBEARnation

Its now February and that means we are greeting Friends old and new back into our arms after their sabbaticals, some have been attempting dry January by avoiding alcohol  after a festive season of excess! others have been forced into the life of a hermit by the 6 weeks between paydays! and others have been taking part in their natural yearly cycle of hiBEARnation. By which i mean the weeks and months where the nights draw in and the temperature drops and the bears metabolisms start to slow and they build up their nests and dens and sleep through until the sun reappears.

The first symptoms of hibearnation often begin to show around the same time as strictly come dancing/ x factor auditions starts on Saturday nights, you will get the warning signs of a friend preparing for this when they can no longer meet up either until after a specific time or not at all. They also start posting facebook updates about horlicks or a cosy glass of wine! Hibearnation can also take on the form of the sudden settling down relationships that often occur in winter but i will saved that for another post!

Sadly there is currently no known cure for hibearnation all you can do if you or a friend is afflicted by this condition is simply just to wait and see it through! and know that as soon as the sun comes back so will the gays! plus its Push the Button on the 22nd!!
