I now feel guilty about borrowing this image for my blog. It's by Jane Ferguson and was chosen to illustrate my theme about 'walking in the rain '(not surprisingly). But should the artist be compensated for her work being used? No profit accrues from my blog. Hardly anyone reads them anyway. Is this justification for 'borrowing' someones creative efforts without recompense? Possibly. Hope so anyway. I'm not sure my older son would agree.
Anyway, walking in the rain and whether I should make the effort to put on my waterproofs and head out for a stroll in the cold but fresh air is today's pressing question. Arguments for: good exercise, haven't had a decent walk in a few days, it's good to get out, clears the head. Arguments against: just spent ten days walking (and cycling) in sunny Spain where the sky was blue and the climactic contrast with my homeland is therefore both deeply unfavourable and a significant deterrent (for the moment anyway, until it all becomes a distant memory). Conclusion: have some mint tea and think about it some more.
