A little tip on how to get over a bad day: have a nap. Short and sweet. A no fuss siesta, does n't matter if you're working from home and can slope away to a bedroom, or like me tonight, slack-mouthed and asleep on the train coming home from Bristol.

A nap cleans away the aches and pains, in fact, it obliterates the part of the day up till the point I drift off, and when I wake up it's as a new man. Like tonight. I've no memory, none at all, of whatever indignities have been thrown my way, or what I've thrown others. Slate clean. It's fantastic. I feel reborn.
