Hi its 'me' again.

Just thought Id just share with you the dreary summer we have had. Ive been away for most of the summer holidays in a very remote place on the scottish border.

Had to cope with rain, midges, rain, midges and more rain and yes, more midges.

So it was a relief when my husband turned up with my multivitamin tonic!!!

I wasnt able to continue with my exercise routine for 6 weeks, and I have forgotten what the sun looks like, it really has beent that bad. When it stops raining the midges come out so I feel like ive been stuck in all day for weeks!!!

Obviously then, I am feeling a bit short and extremely fed up with the world. Ive put on three quarters of a stone aswell, so i know its starting again.

Still, when the kids go back to school, I will get myself back on track. I dont want to be bad again, so am gonna work hard to put myself back on track.. If I go down now, then what will I be like in December!!!

Take care, speak to you all again.

Me,
I'm sorry to hear you've had a bad summer. I can feel the SAD creeping in again. I'm hoping to put up a fight with it this year. Sometimes I lose my motivation but so far I've found it again.
This morning, I was writing some bad poetry on the trolley. At the time, I thought it was good enough to share here, but I've come to my senses! ;) Certainly was feeling what I feel as a longing for the sunshine, and that sinking fear that my emotions are starting to "go flat."
In any event, you're not alone. I cheered up to see that you'd posted again, but I'm so very sorry it's been hard for you.

*hugs*

It really has been a truly awful summer. I don't feel I ever really got going this year.

Still I feel that I am perking up with my Pharos Max!

Oh dear, it gets from bad to worse

Couldnt get home from a childs party today due to floods on all roads in this area. Truely amazing. I have friends that have had to be evacuated. My husband and eldest son managed to get back to the car but were soaking wet from the waist down due to wading. What on earth is going on. I even had big puddles of water on my gravelled drive!!!!!!!!!! so things must be bad.
