speak for yourself, I was trying to give some constructive advice.
One more thing is make sure you take plenty of warm clothes when you fly. You never know when your heater will pack up, or worst case your engine fails and you end up somewhere cold waiting for help. Maybe even pack some sort of emergency supplies like they advise you do in your car, blanket, torch etc.
Also the low sun is very annoying. Think ahead if you're going to end up making an approach close to sunset with the sun right in your eyes. It may not seem normal to bring sunglasses in December, but I use them more than I did in June.
