Goodmorning. I woke up today to a rain-spattered window and cold feet! The first time since being here that I have actually been cold inside my little room...a significant milestone for me! It is apparently currently 16 degrees and the forecast is for rain all day, although I won't even notice for the most part. Sitting in a my cave in a shell with a heater on I only know from the soggy raincoats and "aren't you cold?" questions that perhaps it's not the most pleasant of days! My secret hideaway is cosy, but I've been hidden away there a lot this week and am getting a touch of cabin fever I think. The sound of my own voice is getting old and walking is seeming increasingly like a rare luxury! However, I shall soldier on and brave the wet raincoats, crowded trains, umbrella pokes and frizzy hair until I reach my cocoon of familiar, albeit repititious, comfort from which I will dutifully produce magical moments to warm the hearts of those rainsoaked souls who venture into the water.

Don't forget your raincoat...and your umbrella, rainboots and scarf! xx
