Warm house, hot bath and a deep tissue, shiatsu, trigger point massage and all is well (one of those never happened). A quiet morning of reflection, ancient ritualistic chanting and yogic flying awaits and I'll be raring to go (two of those might be unlikely).
What I can recommend is a bear hunt. Because we're all going on one. Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury are in today and they wrote and illustrated We're Going On A Bear Hunt in 1989 and it was a sensation. How many of us have done the whole swishy-swashy, cant-get-over-it-can't-get-over-it routine. It wasn't totally new in 1989, there are old songs from these isles and old stories from America which Michael and Helen put together so successfully. It's one of the kids books you hold on to, rather than re-cycle. Come on, join in, you know you want to really.
And BEAR HUNT songs. Or bears, Or hunting. Or both. Your knowledge is appreciated.
Carry on.
