Recovery mode

After the disastrous week, I am now in recovery mode and having a lazy day.  I have picked blackberries, made soup, read a wonderful book (see Lying Awake) and now, as a complete contrast and an utter relaxation of mind and spirit, have picked up the latest Bill Bryson The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid.  I adore Bill Bryson and he always, but always, makes me laugh so I am happily anticipating an enjoyable few hours - if I don't fall asleep on the sofa of course, always a possiblity.
