The classic suggestion for Feb is 'Persuasion' which I read towards the end of last year, which is why I subbed Elizabeth Gaskell. I'm halfway through 'Cousin Phillis' already and enjoying the placidity. I've also got 'A Room of One's Own' in my sights. <br />This weather is very tiring - I'm slow at the moment, and counting the days for half term (starts Sat 14th Feb).<br />I use a blood pressure monitor (upper arm) for several days and write down the figures before routine clinic appointments as the result at the hospital is always sky-high!<br />when I'm normal at home. <br />The children spread their germs everywhere, over the piano keyboard - grugh - It's a good job one can't catch flu or colds over the internet! I anti bac the piano keys now.

I now take vitamin D tabs daily (for seasonal depression as much as anything else) and they are great for me. Perhaps get one of the younger relatives to look into it? I get mine from Waitrose.<br /><br />Hope you pick up soon, dear Jean.

It has been reported here that Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow, so we can expect an early spring. Given the dire and chilling reports of the polar vortex I am not sure that I trust Phil on this prediction! Paradox has cast her allegiance with Scotland it seems.
