JRR Tolkien revived the old Anglo Saxon month names, (see OUP Blog below, http://blog.oup.com/2009/11/winterfilth/ ) and although Winterfilth belongs to October, today is definitely Winterfilth-y! Here's my walk through the rain. Avoiding the dustcart which was driving slowly down the road collecting wheelie-bin rubbish, I went by the Canal, (which had a strange, sad, brooding beauty?) Actually, it didn't, it was quite upbeat, the ducks were very happy and I marched through the mud enjoying the peace and being outside, which is so much better than stuck indoors on a dark day. Though the cats, except Spike, have spent today asleep. Spike enjoyed watching the gas man mend the boiler, and then later went outside to collect mud on his paws so he could land splat on the typescript I was working on!
