Blood Thirsty

I am not overly fond of citrus fruit especially when it is dry and pithy but I adore eating these blood oranges from Sicily.  They are sharp and juicy and just how I like an orange to be.  The segments are streaked red and really do look as though there has been an 'incident' with a knife!

Over the last few days I have been busy printing tote bags and really want to get them listed in my etsy shop next week.  However, the day I list them will depend on the outcome of news I am awaiting.  The news will be life changing for me - if all goes to plan.

I have been in high spirits this week with the blue skies and frosty days but I noticed my mood change this morning when the grey clouds moved in and wet, dismal conditions took up where they left off a couple of weeks ago. As I have grown older I seem much more susceptible to weather conditions.  I can cope with the cold as long as it is bright but I cannot stand muggy rain and blanket grey skies.

Eating brightly coloured fruit lifts my spirits and I feel virtuous for doing something healthy (even if they are sugar laden).

Wishing you all a good weekend come rain or shine!
