These rainy autumn (is it really autumn already?) days are really conducive to sitting down and doing some serious work - which is just as well, because I've had not a small amount to do. I've got these great overhead desk lights, and my room feels like a warm little refuge from the cold world outside. My iRiver is beside me, churning out music I love, and altogether it's pretty pleasant. If you have to be in front of a computer on a Sunday, it might as well be like this.

In a moment I'll go downstairs and make myself a cup of tea, possibly construct myself some pasta or something for lunch. If I'm bad I'll nip round to the corner shop and brave the rain for a slice of cake or a pastry.
