I mull, you mull, we all should mull

As you can imagine there has been quite a lot of decisions to be made during the house extension. Some were instant choices; some necessitated deep discussion and some just needed to be mulled over.

I rather like 'mulling over' something. It is such a wonderfully nuanced phrase which absolutely encapsulates those often inconsequential decisions over which you need to ruminate; those options which you need to toss about in your head before gently landing upon your answer; those choices that need to be pondered.

So next time you have a decision to make gently mull it over. There is so much less stress involved in 'mulling it over' than 'deciding or 'choosing' there and then. You will also find that more often than not your final decision is the right one if you've mulled over rather than plunged into or plucked your choice out of the air.

So altogether now I mull, you mull, we all mull.
