Maybe it really is harder to be upbeat when the sky is grey. Today there isn’t even an exciting gusty wind rattling the window to pique my interest. Just low-grade rain.
The prospect of continuing lack of travel, or proper group singing, or actual live theatre, or employment for my kids – somehow seems more overwhelming when I’ve also got to do the housework.
Haha – there’s the thing. Housework doesn’t get displaced by reading an absorbing book or watching YouTube or a decent film. It just piles up around me.
So – I have rationed it. Half today (now done – hurrah) and half on Thursday, because I have a date for a distanced walk with a friend tomorrow and I’m hoping we’ll go whatever the weather and share our miserablenesses joyfully together.
