Being ill affords one an interesting perspective.
Upon the restless lounge couch, the dreamer's dreams are a potential minefield of lost clues; clues that could point to the root cause of the malaise in a roundabout way.
Well maybe not, but still, an interesting prospect in the making.
Early in the evening, reflecting with a cup of strong tea, sweetened with one teaspoon too much sugar, the world seems much warmer and inviting, especially when one has seen too much of bed lately.
I sat in the sun this afternoon; spring is most certainly on the way here. So to is the promise of life; rebirth and recreation of things that lie dormant too long over the winter.
There is little time to be ill when such wonders are taking place - one hopes tomorrow will be a day that can be enjoyed more in harmony, than in discord.

You didn't tell me you were sick!!
Is it because you were too sick to tell, or because you had noted me as a rotten absent friend?
I hope you're getting better fast, Meneer Mark :)
I was running a wee bit of a temp. Wasnt really all there - well more so than normal - truth be told.
Feeling more like myself today - bit of a shame really; would much rather be someone else :)
You're not really a bad friend Di - If that were that case I'd fully give up on you watching Dead Like Me by now....
(couldn't help myself on that one - sorry)
AW! If I had been there, I would have brought you grapes and chicken soup laced with Paracetamol.
So sorry we won't catch Spring in NZ - am missing the place already, although so far this vacation has flashed by ridiculously fast
You say chicken soup - but I'd always be wary of some greeny type lentil arrangement instead.
Thanks for the sentiment - your grapes were missed.
Sick, in spring. I do that to enjoy the sunshine :)
Spring, I think it's called that because we get a spring in our steps as our world warms up and new things begin.
I love the photo from Atonement. I went kicking and screaming, Kiera Knightly adverse, and was engrossed from the start. Didn't know it had a sound track so will check that out.
