I was going to talk about the phrase 'under the weather,' but I thought I'd get all miserable and make you miserable too. Sometimes misery shared is misery halved: sometimes the less said the better. Anyhow, I'm just feeling the natural consequences of Monday. All things pass. Even my temporary tendency to use trite and well-worn phrases.

My class is happy in the new building. This happiness is cupboard love. We're in the office section of a basketball stadium, it turns out, and basketballers need their healthy snacks. You would not believe the number of food and drink machines! Not that we needed them today. We had pecan custard scroll and ANZAC biscuits to celebrate the move. Also to celebrate the continuation of the class into the second half of the year.

My bones say that it will reach zero degrees tonight. I suddenly don't regret ordering myself that new coat. Or hauling some ingredients out of the cupboard and deciding that they need finishing. All the ingredients relate to the creation of gourmet hot chocolate and I've given myself till the end of May. Self-discipline and rational behaviour are very important to a worthy life, after all.

If I have enough chocolate, do I find more words? Most of my vocabulary has gone walkabout. I guess that's why I'm taking refuge in aphorisms and cliches.
