Monday 6 February

Today is the most popular day of the year for taking a "sickie" in the u.k. according to social scientists. Various reasons are given why this is so!! It has been a grey day weatherwise also windy, so the puppy and moi were more aware of the creaking and movement of the trees, as we took our daily walk in the woods. Puppy had great fun chasing the leaves blowing on the ground these are his 'prey', he is happy when he catches one. Spirit was uplifted last night watching 'Jute, Jam and Islam' a programme about the Muslim community in Dundee. As far as I know only shown on BBC 2 Scotland, pity as this shows how people with different beliefs are attempting to live side by side. Restores faith in humanity.
