Eat plenty of those big juicy Jaffa oranges which are cheap and plentiful just now. They’re as good as a dose of sunshine.
Walk or take a bus out into the country, and listen to the larks proclaiming the eternal miracle of Spring.
Clock into bed punctually every night and get your full ration of sleep. A “nightcap” taken last thing will help you to slumber peacefully.
If you can arrange the routine of your daily life in a slightly different pattern, you will do a lot to banish tiredness. Change is the spice of life.
Remember the charwoman’s motto: “Life may not be all you want, but it’s all you ‘ave. So stick a geranium in your ‘at and be happy.”
