What a blessing you have in them.<br />Give yourself a while to get over the 'bereavement' of losing your holiday. Remember that it is still there for you if you are able to take it again and the life you have now is what will make it possible, as it did the last time.

Good news is the sun will be out next week. You should try to get in that van for a couple of nights. Sometimes a quick short break can feel like a a week of rest.

You did it. So start dreaming again with the knowledge that one day you'll filter through them and make the ones that count happen too. <br />I can't imagine wearing beanies and the like yet. Yesterday was 38, today is suppose to be 39 and tomorrow is forecast to be 40!!! I want to finish the blanket I've been hooking for baby O but the thought of a blanket, even though it is cotton, on my lap is urky. <br />Picking apples hey. Your very own apples.

I remember that I felt lost for 2 whole months after a 5 month trip around Oz. <br />Has the weather been as dreadful for you as it has been for us here on the east coast? We missed out on summer totally! And last night we had over 50mm of rain. That in itself is enough to make one feel a little down.<br />Hope the apples help cheer you up.
