Bleurgh!

It is bleurgh outside today, the kind of day where you just want to hole up infront of the fire and stay put. In addition, Mouse, Custard and I are all fighting off the dreaded winter snorkiness and shivers. I was going to let them stay at home today, then I realised I would have to entertain them, and really, they weren't properly ill, so off they have all gone to school. Is that bad? I feel slightly guilty.

I have stocked up on ready meals- unusual in our house, but frankly, anything that makes life a bit easier today is welcome. And I also bought these:

Ah, that's better! I do not often buy flowers, I like them best in the ground, but today I needed a little burst of colour in the grey light of the living room. They are contrasting beautifully with the grey pallor of my skin- I do look shocking! I think tonight will involve an exfoliating mitt, twenty minutes with some Casting Creme, Lemsip and quite possibly some chocolate. Purely for medicinal reasons.
