Wanted:
Missing, get-up-and-go
If anybody has it can they please send me some?
Is it the dull, damp morning? Too much food over Christmas?
“End of a cr*p year” syndrome?
Whatever, I am finding it hard to stay vertical, can feel no motivation whatsoever for the (few) tasks I had hoped to achieve before the end of the year, and just want to curl up and hibernate.

Beautiful photo’s of beloved cats and dogs on here. Thank you for sharing. They know how to relax and I often think we can follow their example.
I’d love to hibernate now until 1st March. That is when my mojo usually reappears ?

The sun came out yesterday - and there was a glimmer of enthusiasm for gardening!

By the time I'd had a cup of tea (always first on my list) and got changed, though, the moment had gone and the clouds were back.

I forced myself to sweep up, just outside the back door, then retreated back to the sofa.

MayBeMaw your dog is gorgeous. Greyhounds/whippets are such a lazy breed aren’t they?

I read the first part of that Grannyparkrun where the guy was last in his school race and it reminded me that at age 5 I was ahead in a running race, thought I was doing something wrong and stopped for the others to catch up. No hope for me with that attitude!!

Maybe we should take a leaf out of Mr Eastwood’s book

I'd say that too but my 'old man' might object!
