   I have struggled.  I haven't even managed to get up and clear the   
   gutters after leaf-fall.   
   On Saturday (17th) we had the first life-giving sunshine of 2026.  The   
   mood of everyone lifted.  People sat facing the sun in a state of bliss   
   at the outward end of their walk along the beach.  My friend and I   
   finally lit a cigar she had bought on the 22nd of December and spent an   
   hour there just feeling life and joy returning.  At the cafe, before and   
   after the walk, people were sat outside in the sunshine joyfully - first   
   time of the year after a couple of months under a leadened sky with   
   drizzle coming down most of the time if not rain.   
   So please don't feel bad.   
   We (in Britain) had a bad 'flu this year in that it debilitated people   
   for weeks with a post-viral extreme shortage of energy.   
   Doubly please don't feel bad.   
   Best wishes,   
   Rich Smith
