The little freezer attached to the fridge is empty of everything except some vegetables, so I need to go out to the large freezer in the garage to get some things for meals for the next few days. However, I have no intention of getting myself soaked in the short dash from the back door to the garage, so I shall have to make do with some soup for lunch and hope that the rain eases a little later on.
My depression is not normally affected by the weather, but we have had such grim weather this year that the wind and the rain that we have at the moment is like the straw that broke the camel's back. Try as I might, it is exceedingly difficult to see that things will get better when the day is so dark and dull.
One slightly lighter note to this post is possible. I have been doing some knitting this morning and I have managed to move into virgin territory with the knitting. I have managed to complete one and a half repeats of the 'rosebud' pattern on the Shetland lace shawl. Perhaps I am getting used to the yarn and as a result managing to cope with the pattern a little more easily. Anyway, the odd mistakes that I have made this morning have been easily rectified so I am a little more confident in my ability to make this shawl. I hope that having written that I don't make a monumental mistake in the next few rows and cause me to lose confidence again.

We had that vile weather yesterday and obviously kindly sent it on to you...I was discussing this very issue this morning at work, whether the general lack of a summer has meant that we have all accumulated less light somehow and are coping less well with November as a consequence - I don't know whether light boxes are a sham and at £200 or so a time it's too much to spend on the offchance..what I am trying to say is that I do not think you are alone in feeling blue at the moment, look after yourself and congrats on the knitting break through....
