At least it's not me rushing today...

I've spent far too much time rushing lately, and I'm still full of the cold, so I took a day off to get some bits and pieces done and relax a bit - at least mentally.

I did some cleaning in the house this morning, went for a walk with my camera, went for lunch with a good book, then did some Christmas (and other) shopping.

My walk was chilly, but the river and autumn colours (see extras) were beautiful and an hour of peace in the fresh air did wonders for me!
