Better day

Although I had hoped for lie in, my body clock was not fooled and I was awake at 5:30! So much better day though, and I am convinced it’s due to the sun! I’ve never liked grey gloomy days, but the last two years have been even worse. I’ve tried to think positively (my mum loved the winter evenings, cocooning herself with curtains closed etc) but just can’t do it! 
Today though I walked Dog early and we watched swimmers! Two groups of ladies - mad! 
I’ve raked leaves, pruned and baked! Banana bread and a cherry and coconut cake. I sliced them up and gave some to Alf, who told me he can no longer drive. His eyesight has almost gone completely, but he always has a smile. He’s such a trooper at 92. I kept a slice of each for tomorrow and 
The rest I’ve put in slices in the freezer,
