Yes, the weather is better here in the Antipodes, and I feel sorry for you, Michael, and everybody else up north suffering freezing conditions. Almost every day I manage a swim and the top pic is the view upwards from the pool, while the bottom one is where Muffy and I are whiling away this morning, in absolute bliss! (I brought my mug of coffee with me to get the camera, otherwise it would have been on the table.)
I don't really want to go anywhere, as I get too annoyed by The Great Unwashed (a rude term for other people). People in general push and shove on footpaths, put their feet on seats in the trains, and talk loudly on their mobiles. I want to withdraw more and more from society and just be at home.
Last night I cooked a Thai massaman curry and brown rice, with pancakes for dessert, for the whole family. Nothing beats the simple pleasures of life, away from the noise and violence out there. I'm trying to stop watching/listening to the news, BBC radio 4, and reading any newspapers, especially The Daily Mail. I need to calm down and enjoy life, not be constantly worried about what's going on in the world. As you say, Frank, even trying to make a phone call drives us mad - I think your idea of a number for being totally cheesed off is brilliant!
