Out of sorts

It is a beautiful day, the sort of Autumn day everyone loves (except maybe John). I even think I may manage to get my washing out and dry today -just maybe. Last night I was delighted (as I put the bins out) to enjoy one of those moments when the air is still but slightly crisp after a lovely sunny day, a slight mist was in the air making all the views look spectacular and there was a smell of wood burning stoves (which served to make me slightly jealous that I don't have one). We can't complain at the weather in Lancashire right now.

But I am out of sorts!

I woke with a headache, which is my own bloody fault, because I didn't really eat yesterday. I couldn't rouse myself to do so. So instead had a bag of crisps for my tea! I know, what has happened to the male answer to Rosemary Shrager? Well, all I can say is that he took a holiday for the day and took a leaf out of 'mums gone to Iceland' book instead. And what is a good life loving, frugal minded man doing with crisps in the house anyway, you may well ask?

So I need to rouse myself and get a bit of motivation today, I think the garden needs a good tidying up, and I definitely need to eat something wholesome. Actually I just feel like going back to bed and watching a re-run of the x-files.

The truth is out there.



Which reminds me, it turns out that I live in the middle of a UFO hotspot. There have been 44 sightings of unidentified flying objects in the skies around Bacup and Whitworth hills since 1977.

Will give me something else to look for during the long winter nights....

    Probably a combination of not drinking or eating enough/properly. I usually find a good cup of tea and a couple of ibuprofen help on the odd morning I feel like that. Maybe the UFO's were over last night!

    Hot tea with lots of honey will get you straight. Then back to the kitchen for at least a grilled cheese, you bad boy. And you'd better have more than just crisps around when the aliens visit - you want to make a good impression. ;-D

    Get some lentil soup in your freezer next time you feel activity coming on in the kitchen. Then you will not have another day like this.

    Dehydration causes headaches. Coffee will only make it worse.
    Lot`s of hot lemon with honey will help. Make yourself some porridge! Not eating decently is also bad for you. As for aliens. You`ll be the only alien around your home if you don`t look after yourself. Make a meal plan for at least 2-3 days and do some prep work for those meals. That way you will enjoy those meals more. Less work on the actual day and a more relaxing aproach to food. I always make myself do a meal plan and prep as muchas possible, then keep things wrapped up in the fridge. It`s a quicker dinner making solution and can help imensly when I come home tired from work. Get busy and organize your week!!

    Some good food and, as anti-autumn John suggested, something warm and cozy in your favorite mug and sit on your beautiful deck and watch the sunset. A hot bath or shower and slip into bed. You'll wake up refreshed the next morning. :-)
