I was sick last week as well, so I am hoping to get back into exercising this week. It is very hard when the weather is so cold and after work is even harder! I haven't done the whole adult coloring thing, although it does look therapeutic. :) I do a lot of coloring with my son...does that count? haha.

I'm such a fusspot, it's a struggle exercising in the heat and if we had winter like you, I'd hibernate for months lol.<br /> <br />Adult colouring books are all the rage here too and the design your colouring now appeals to me but I'll have to wait a while longer til my hands improve. At the moment Mia's colouring would probably be better than mine ;) <br /><br />The Things We Keep was my first Sally Hepworth worth and I loved it. Looking forward to your thoughts on The Golden Sun.
