Blue Monday

A new day, a new week and a not quite so full moon to greet me this morning at 8am.
Life seems so much more optimistic after a night's sleep or at least what passes as a night's sleep for me these days. There only remains the strange and rather discomfiting knowledge that the world continued as usual when I felt far removed from it, a prescient thought for that ultimate removal.

However enough of those dark thoughts on a day the pundits have labelled Blue Monday because of the universal feelings of pessimism after the festive period.
There is every reason to be optimistic now that the arctic chill has gone and the sun is shining. His Lordship and I even managed a discussion about our forthcoming visit to Ireland.
Onwards and upwards is the name of the game.
