    So many similarities. I have had a hot water bottle at my back all day. I've been snoozing and reading. I have also eaten 4 slices of bread! Maybe all the behaviours go together  :)

    There's definitely a whole 'comfort' side of it.  Hope you enjoyed the rest.

    Thank you, that's totally understandable in your circumstances.  You'll get back to it when things settle down.

    It's so much easier when it's grey and miserable.
