Spiky on the Outside

I thought today may be the day the Blips stopped.
However, as I have accomplished very little in the past few days, I knew that missing a day was something I may regret.

So, it's raining.
I'm in the car.
I'm sitting watching the rain.
There are thistles in the long grass beside a field.

Someone was encouraging me recently to allow others to see past my tough exterior (I am trying to remember the analogy. Was I a nut? Or a boiled egg? A hedgehog?...)

I feel very prickly and defensive currently, so perhaps a thistle is more appropriate.

Thankfully, I like thistles!
