Gnarly

Lovely, if muddy, walk this morning in Butterdean Wood, near Tranent.

Despite the fact that my cold has mostly been chased into abeyance, an unaccountably black mood seemed to settle on me today. The gnarly old bit of wood kind of sums up my mood. I'm trying to chase the blues away with cheery activities like sorting out the kids pens/pencils/crayons and painting a picture frame for Katherine, but that hasn't worked, so I'm off to lie on the sofa and watch Sideways. And yes, I will be drinking Merlot. I may even steal the mini chocolate eggs I bought for the kids for Easter.

I'll probably catch up with you all tomorrow if I'm feeling slightly less grumpy!
