In the bleak mid-winter?

Feeling a bit sorry for myself and 'bah humbug' today. A lovely sunny day but I was stuck inside doing some rather boring work. By the time I got out the sun had gone. Although it's not been really cold yet, it was very raw with a biting wind. Plus my ear is blocked up and my doctor is not offering appointments for two weeks. Still, the bare trees are beautiful and so will Christmas be, I'm sure!
