The random number generator has spoken…

And the winner is comment number 4.

Number 4 is Liz. (yay)

Congratulations to Liz. I would like to thank everyone that entered.Some of your comments made me smile, some made me teary but they all  made me think deep thoughts about my work, life and the universe. Once again I was touched by the healing power of the blogosphere. Each time I checked the new comments I was excited by the possibilities that your comments inspired in me.Thankyou.

Yesterday was the first day in ages that wasn’t grey and rainy. We have had so much rain this winter, it has been marvellous and it will be a really good year for frogs but the constant greyness hasn’t been doing much for my soul.

Dave has been flirting with depression, The Spouse has cabin fever which makes him crankier than usual and I am all over the shop, happy one minute, in tears the next.

So even though it was a tad windy, we packed up the car and drove to Craigbourne Dam to see if we could scare a trout or two. When we got to Craigbourne it was so windy that I didn’t even get out of the car. We are keen anglers and normally the weather doesn’t stop me from drowning a few worms or wattle grubs but the wind yesterday was insane.

So we went and had a bit of a look under the bridge at the Coal river. The water was so muddy that it was a pointless exercise really but I am an optimist. We sat under the bridge for an hour or so, drowning worms and enjoying the sunshine.

    Lucky Liz 😉

    Glad you got some sun, a bit of outdoor activity when the sky is bright is very therapeutic. The weather over here is pretty grim and there’s precious little sun about ;-(

    Yay – well done Liz (damn you, random number generator!).

    Glad you managed to get out for a bit even if it was too windy/muddy to get any fishing done.

    I hope Dave will be ok.

    OOOh ys, I KNOW about greyness and rain. Try living in Belgium sometime eh? We’ve been spoiled lately, but Winter will soon be there.

    I think the three of you have had quite shock, mood swings are part of the mourning and the healing process. There was a blue sky, and you took some great pictures. And Spring is rapidly approaching.

    What better way to heal one’s spirit than by fishing!

    Congratulations Liz!

    Looks like today will be a pretty day too. I’m planning on playing in the garden. You can come and help me if you like. Or photograph Amy as she plays…

    Congrats to Liz 🙂

    Drag everyone to a nearby beach/river/picnic spot and do something out of left field to get everyone’s grey cells ticking over.
    Or cook up a huge roast dinner…
