Absolutely agree on the hot dinners! Litres of vegetable winter soup prepped on Sunday afternoon, reheated on weekday evenings with tiny pasta and parmesan and parsley. Wonderful.

I have to get on the sunlamp thing, I'm seeing those recommended a lot.

We've had a pretty easy run of it so far in my part of the world, but winter will be upon us with a vengeance from tomorrow onwards. I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say that I suffer from SAD, but it's definitly not my favorite time of year.
I try to follow the basic advice like getting out of the house and exercising as much as possible, and also have a few tricks I know work for me like lighting candles in the evening, wearing bright colors and having flowers around, going to bed early and keeping my apartment tidy.
What do you all do to keep the winter blues at bay?

Half-French person and french resident here, asking out of genuine curiosity. Some of my friends from other European countries (including Germany, Spain, Italy and Eastern Europe) have remarked upon visiting me about how integrated France seems to be compared to where they live - to quote verbatim "You see so many black people in business attire here".
(Am obviously not denying that we do have a race problem!).

All the best to your laptop! My macbook is now so old that guys have started using it as an opener in coffee shops ("Wow, haven't seen one of those in a while").

However, I don't really see any point in putting absolutely everything through the privilege wringer and picking apart individual successes, unless they're unwarranted or the person in question demonstrates a questionable* attitude, which isn't Tavi's case as far as I know.
*Substituted for "problematic", a word Tumblr has rendered me allergic to.
