Winter's in the air.
As much as I like the sun, there something about dark winter mornings, where lights from sleepy high street shops gleam quietly through. The streets are a bit chilly and a bit wet and they smell different - fresh and frosty.
Yoga in the morning is great. A great deal of stretching and energising, a calm way of waking up - I like feeling my body that way.
And then: home for a cup of tea and a read through the newspaper. Preferably while it rains outside and bread is baking in the oven.
On an entirely different note:
Britons fall short on their knowledge of art.
7% thought Australian TV presenter and artist [Rolf] Harris had painted Monet's Water Lillies.
...one in 10 thought Botticelli had painted David Hockney's A Bigger Splash.
What is the world coming to? Can this not be rectified?
As quickly as possible, please!
