Looking sad....

...and not shining so bright in the gloom of a grey January day!  Spotted a few of these as I walked through Wearhead on my morning jaunt. It was a really miserable day outside and I had quite a lot of 'problem' phone calls to deal with for mum and nephew. At least mum's problem is resolved and I've hopefully passed the baton with the nephew's, but I guess that won't be resolved so easily and will no doubt crop up again!
Cooked a vegetable pasta bake for dinner which we both enjoyed, so not all the day was lost!
