Be proud of who you are.

Rrrrrr...

So. Weekend great, last night great, today evil. First sounds this morning from alarm, Radio 5, where various brummies were screaming with anger and frustration about the causes of the riots. Later learned of Rosa's death. Printer's not working. Power outages every 10 minutes because there's currently a fault in our local electrickery. Maybe badgers have chewed through the cables. Working on assignment for counselling course, writing it all out on pc - have now lost the lot. Shouted at sick boyfriend because am frustrated at electric buggery. Feel rotten about that. Wonder if the house is sulking cos we may be leaving.

Am tempted to write today off as a right c*nt.

The day improved. My dear larians brought home lots of pied white and magenta carnations plus a pumpkin. The flowers were delightful, the pumpkin...well, this samhain will not be a time for pumpkins.

Then we had a visitor.

Here's to the coming winter.
