Wet.

It was a grey wet start to the day remaining grey in the afternoon without the rain.

It's not been a good day for me. After a recent very stressful meeting (work) I had an email the same day from somebody who had been at the meeting. I responded to the email and then didn't look at the email again as I wanted to put it all from my mind. Today I looked at the email to discover that I had missed a vital point making the situation worse and raising my stress levels sky high. I have made an appointment to speak to my doctor later in the week. Meanwhile I kept myself busy doing lots of work in Peter's study and tomorrow I can start repairing the holes in the wall. There is a small hand basin that needs tiling and some boxing in of the pipes underneath. That I should be able to do this week.

After a break with the last of the Christmas marzipan bars I wrapped up to do a little more moss clearing up in the scree garden. Yesterday while I worked I could hear wood pigeons cooing and a blackbird singing sweetly. Today it was just the raucous cawing of the rooks in the trees. 

Yesterday while I was in town I took some pictures of the River Yeo which leads into the River Taw.
