Probably a variety of reasons.

Back end of January, folk have spent up (mostly getting paid at the end of the month), credit card bills just around the corner, Christmas a distant memory, and spring even more distant. Also the effects of dark days and long nights starting to kick in (SAD).

And the realisation that this year looks to be just as crappy as the last. Good job I have such a sunny disposition to see me through :)

Absolutely. Some may say that would be disproportionate, but not me. And it would be doing the world a favour :)

2nd day soup with a parmesan top. No bread sadly

I could just go a bowl of that right now :) And I like parmesan, even though it does smell a bit like baby sick.

ha, most say sweaty feet... soup was good and plenty left

Great on a cold day like today?

I think so too, but I'm just having a tin of Heinz pea and ham soup. The soup maker we got for Christmas is still in its box.

When out at work I have soup in a flask, always cheapo items, and I break at least one flask every winter (pea ham and broken glass soup isn't as tasty as it sounds), but my mate has given me his spare flask.

Same as this:

They're not cheap, but are guaranteed a lifetime, so should see me out :) Bloody hell that pic came out big, bigger than the actual flask

I spent it at a mate's house, where we went to his local for a couple of beers, then back to his to see the new year in. I 'd known I wouldn't want any more beer so I'd taken along a bottle of chardonnay that had been kicking about in the fridge for a few weeks, that'll do for me :)

I did not know that Anita's thieving youngest son had drunk it all and refilled the bottle with water and put it back in the fridge, the little shitbag. The result being that I saw the new year in with a can of Pepsi Max :(

That reminds me of a Geordie fellow undergraduate student I knew. He had a full bottle of Chivas Regal proudly on display. When I asked if I could have a 'nip', he said "Sure - help yourself". He could afford to be magnanimous - the bottle was filled with cold tea!

Is it one of those all metal vacuum flasks?

Yes there is no glass, so I'll have to try really hard to break it. With my existing cheap flask I fill it with soup at 7am, and by lunchtime the soup is barely warm. This one is supposed to keep soup/beverages hot or cold for at least 24 hours. It gets its maiden voyage tomorrow, so we'll see then.
