What a difference a bit of sunshine and blue sky makes. You don't think of blue skies and December in the same breath as a rule. In fact in about ten days the winter solstice will arrive and we can look forward to the days being longer by a 'cockstride'.
What is this preamble leading to I hear you ask? Well, yesterday was such a dismal day. It never really got light. Those kind of days do my head in. Once we had got back from shopping and had a bit of lunch I took myself off for a siesta. I even got under the covers and put the electric blanket on for ten minutes or so. I read for a little while and then settled down and had a sleep. There were things I could have been doing......there were things I should have been doing.....but I asked myself how much they would matter in a 100 years.....the answer I came up with was they would not matter one jot. I always said that once I retired I would do the things I wanted to do.....even if they were decadent and slothful......and yesterday I did!
