The Optimist

I had a lovely long lie, even taking tea and toast back to bed while I caught up with some reading. Such wicked luxury! ;-)

The sleety snow wasn't a surprise because it was forecast. By the time I ventured out to buy a paper, it had turned to slush, but I still thought the gent putting his bin out for collection tomorrow - yes, our bins are emptied on a Sunday - was being a bit optimistic. The first flake of snow seems to be enough to deter the binmen!

Congratulations to Wales for winning the Grand Slam. I've been listening to, rather than watching, the match while doing other things and enjoying the singing of the Welsh supporters. About to watch the Scotland v England game through my fingers...
