Jan 24

Just realised that today is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year. And the checkout lady in Sainsburys that served me earlier might well be forgiven for thinking that it was certainly mine, having rung through two bottles of wine, two Cadbury's Creme Eggs, a tin of biscuits and a monster* sized bar of chocolate. This was, however, just an eminently sensible reaction to having missed a bus by a minute, leading to missing my train by three minutes, and facing a possible further hour and a half before getting home. The day itself was rather sunny and fine, and if this was the worst then the rest proves to be rather jolly.

*Monster sized is bigger than "jumbo sized" but smaller than "hoofing-great", for those of an enquiring mind.
