oh, i forgot: the next step towards winter wasn't long underpants, as i thought before. it was the winter shoes. they are now on. at least most of the time. the soles are so worn-out i get blisters under my heals if i wear them too long. i guess i'm not buying new shoes as often as i should... but the long underpants are still in the drawer. no real winter yet, in other words.
