... though the doomy-gloomy stuff is hovering. Went to visit a client in Kew yesterday, and took some time to walk in the Botanical Gardens, sniffing flowers hugging trees etc. Black Mood pursued me like a commission-only door-to-door salesperson:

Mood: Stop smiling! Angst! Angst!
Me: Shut up. The crocusses - or more correctly, crocii - are blooming, hundreds of thousands of them, and the sun is shining.
Mood: Angst! Doom! Gloom!
Me: Oh, bugger off, do.

Client is very splendid. Most of what I was doing was a sort of therapeutic hand-holding (and advising on keyboard shortcuts) while she prepared and CD'd a document about Amazonian deforestation. Since it all overran, she insisted I stay for fish'n'chips and a nice bottle of red. It's good to feel useful!

Worst thing about doomy-gloomy stuff is that it isn't for anything: I'm not depressed about anything in particular, and in fact life is going as smoothly as seems sensible. If I were miserable about something, I could wallow, weep, and wail. As it is, have to keep slamming the door in its face and remaining blithely cheerful in the face of the evidence the Black Mood. I don't have time for this at the moment!


Many thanks for supportive comments, e-hugs and good things in the email: I may sometimes feel I don't deserve such good friends, but I do appreciate you all very, very much.

Can I book a real hug? At 6:30pm? In the vicinity of the ICA?

p.s. Have CDs! You didn't reply whether you wanted to borrow Heavy Horses, but since it contains 'Moths', bext thing they ever did, I'm gonna make you listen to it. Unless you've heard it before. Obviously.

Sweetheart! Even though I've not been in touch with you for years, I think about you a lot (and it's all positive!). Hate to think of nasty black cloud spoiling croci for you {{{{{{{{{{t}}}}}}}}}}

Well, you might not be depressed about anything specific, but you do have major life stuff happening with your father, which is more than enough reason to *cut yourself a damn great chunk of slack*!!! Mind you, slamming the door in the face of the BM could still be a pretty good strategy, for the short term anyway.

pink fluffy love (or whatever colour and consistency you prefer) coming your way on the aether... (and if you fancy a break in the arse end of nowhere...)
