Pressing the pause button

Sickness abounds in our house and the weather outside is cold, wet and grey. It is a day to abandon plans to go outside, to find solace instead in the comforts of home. A day for soup, for napping and for crochet. A day for comfort baking while listening to "Gardener's Question Time". A day for wallowing in a newly-discovered favourite book ("The Pursuit of Love" - how can I have missed this?). And it works. By the time Monday morning dawns, crisp and beautiful, I'm ready to face the world again.
