Totally agree with this - it's the trap I'm in personally right now. IMHO loads of the rage we see is people just stretched out along so many care and work vectors, and so much of the country, that they feel a constant low-level bubbling anger. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Small wins for Blue Monday - finding the last piece of the Christmas jigsaw that we thought we'd lost in my handbag. So come December we can actually finish it this time!

A bright start to a grey #London morning yesterday, enjoying the colour and vitality of Van Gogh's paintings at the National Gallery

View across Trafalgar Square of London's National Gallery. Stone bollards at the front, a fountain and a Christmas tree in the mid-ground. A grand building with done and columns at the rear. Grey sky.

Van Gogh's paintings The Stevedores. A heavily laden boat with French flag, men standing on board. A remarkable sunset of yellow, orange and blue, reflected in the water.

Van Gogh's paintings Long Grass with Butterflies (1890). Richly textured grass and undergrowth with small white and blue flowers and white butterflies.
