The darkest days are over

I read a post on Blue Sky that said as off the 22nd January, the ten darkest weeks of the year were behind us.

What is sure is that from now on, the change in amount of daylight will become increasinly obvious.

For obvious reasons, this January has flown by, much quicker than in previous years, and the realisation that Jools and I have about 9 weeks, maybe a little less, to work.

I look most days around the garden for signs of spring flowers. Not much sign yet, but they are coming.

And there is the fact I go to the gym now. Not much, just once a week, but it is a start, and its not something to avoid now.

Change is happening, even if the changes are small.

We were meant to be giving up booze through the week, but somehow that doesn't seem to work. Maybe we should try this week. Every other day to start with?

At work, Jools says she is being sidelined as plans for the rest of the year are being made, plans which obviously do not include her, so that takes some getting used to.

Anyway, we are where we are, and soon things will change again.
