Egg-cellent

Late again. But I think I'm excused because it's Easter - or it was, anyway. Did everyone have a good one? I trust you all ate too much chocolate and spent time with people you love.

J and I went to visit his family in deepest darkest Devon. We spent some time walking around the countryside. It was amazing to breathe in clean country air after living in a city. Not that Cardiff is particularly smoggy, but I do think that because I'm asthmatic I notice it that much more.

There were quite a few people around as it was the bank holiday weekend, despite the chilly and rather muddy weather. It was great to get some excercise - not that I slob around here in Cardiff, but it's not often I go for a proper walk, although I think J and I will be getting out and about more and more as the weather gets warmer - if we have a summer this year. It's been a total washout the last three years running. My summer clothes are hanging in my wardrobe, sobbing...

Oh, well. Despite the weather never doing what it promises, I thought over Easter that I have a lot to be thankful for. Food is plentiful, I can spend my free time with the people I love, I'm mostly fit and healthy, and I like my job. There are a lot of people who don't have any or all or those things, and I have to remember that whenever I want a little whinge about the weather or anything that, in comparison, is so unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

So, happy belated Easter all - be thankful for all the wonderful things in your life. Not least the large amount of chocolate you probably have left over from the weekend.

I can't look at another piece of chocolate for at least a week!
