Not Off To France
When I left home yesterday, I had a terrible sense of something not being quite right. The sky was lead grey, Autumn leaves were blowing in the wind, and I was feeling unusually depressed, despite the fact I was going off on a break. It's not completely out of character for me to get a little bit of low in Autumn, but I had a terrible sense of foreboding that was unexplainable and unjustified.
