We got up at six thirty to give ourselves time for breakfast, cleaning up and packing. By a quarter to nine we were retracing our journey home across country to Carmarthen and then on the A48 and M4 to Cardiff. It wasn't a difficult journey, but losing sleep, getting up so early wasn't the most relaxing and pleasant of experiences, and left us both feeling tired and tense for the rest of the day. It still seems to take me most of the morning to recover fully from sleep and feel normal.
We made a detour by way of Bridgend to seek out the remaining 'Cartridge World' shop still open in South Wales was to be found, so that I could buy a lazer print cartridge. I guess that most people have switched to buying supplies of consumables on-line these days, but there's still going to be a nice market supplying ink cartridges for older models of printer like mine, now more than ten years old and still going string. I had hoped for a branded HP cartridge to avoid Windows incompatibility problems, but was only able to obtain a compatible generic one, the the storekeeper assured me should work. I hope he's right.
We arrived home just after eleven, and after unpacking had a cooked lunch. Our travel picnic sandwiches we kept back to eat at supper. Then a walk in the park, and a final attempt to revise my special Climate Sunday sermon. In the evening, we watched a superb live on-line performance from the RWCMD of Beethoven's Razumowski string quartet. It proved a welcome relaxation after the demands of an early day, and getting to bed on time for once.
