Coaxed

The mud's going to stick around a while. We took a walk last weekend and due to an inclement morning of torrential rain there were numerous super-puddles which took quite some negotiating to pass. One also lead to a diversion but it's sometimes nice to take a new path. Glad I wore my Magnum boots again, they cope so well in grotty ground. I did have to coax myself into something bright and cheerful, it was so tempting to go for the horrendous ugly yet comfortable trousers in which I toil at the allotment or garden. But of course, I did raise my spirits with some eyeliner, mascara and a dress. There can't be many dresses that make you feel worse than huge baggy...
