No I haven't lost my marbles - the title just reflects my morning so far.

Last night I stayed at my daughter's house because she had to take my son-in-law to the airport early this morning and I was needed to do the school run. Just before we set off it started to rain so we had to scrabble round for waterproof jackets. When we opened the front door we were surprised how "earthy" the air smelt and we stood there breathing in for a moment or two.

When I got back I washed the childrens' breakfast dishes and made my first cup of coffee of the day. Fed up of not having enough decent coffee mugs other than two Denby ones my daughter had bought four new ones. They are white with brown coffee beans and writing on them and look very trendy indeed. The only problem is the rim of the mug slopes (by design) from the handle to the opposite side. I'm still trying to decide the best way to drink my coffee without dribbling it all down my top.

Mmmmm ..... bring back the Denby! :))

Longfellow -
- Be still sad heart and cease repining;
Behind the clouds the sun is shining,
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life a little rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

The sun has now appeared :)

:wave: Have a lovely day
