A Restful Sunday

Yesterday, after a long time, I spent a very restful Sunday. Waking up to tea and biscuits, newspapers, email and a slightly overcast day, I had a sense that it would be a slow and restful one.

Feeling down

It's been a few of those days. I have some kind of a viral - body ache, bad throat, and intense irritation with life. I have had to be at a desk and do stuff that I don't really want to.
