    Hello SYA - always good to listen to your body and rest when you need it. 💕

     I don’t know if this would be of any help but you can get light therapy boxes off big river site from around the £20 mark. Winters can be so dark and grim so it does make sense to me that a bit of manufactured sunlight might help.

     It’s been a very long time since I borrowed one off a work colleague and I don’t know if it was because of the box or placebo effect but I did notice an uplift of energy levels etc in myself and my friend swears by it.

    I did see one on ol!o a few months back and was tempted but it was a bit too far away from me to collect.

    Hope you feel better soon lovely lady xx

    Enjoy your slow Sunday morning 

    Same temperature here, and I think we are due rain this afternoon
    I am going backwards and forwards on whether I need my printer. It is very glitchy, the cartridges are pricey...
    I live very near a print shop and the library is nearby...

    Do you use a system for housework or just do your own thing?
