it's a blustery day outside

When it's sunny, i think of the rain and how nice it would be to walk in it with a pretty umbrella, a trendy canary yellow trenchcoat and some gumboots.

But when it's actually cold and rainy outside, all i can do is stay inside with my bathrobe on and do warm things like bake bread and make coffee.

As i write, the smell of baking bread (Irish soda bread with raisins and caraway seeds) is wafting from the kitchen. There really is nothing more comforting on a cold day than this. Obviously, The Baker's Apprentice has inspired me in more than one way.
