Another warm sunny day to enjoy, I didn't wake up refreshed from sleep however, but still tired, lacking energy, not fully recovered from our week of travelling and intense experience. Clare had prepared batter for breakfast pancakes and I cooked them, eating them with fresh melon and grapes for a change.
I spent the morning on my Douro photos, annotating ones I didn't get around to yesterday, selecting 186 of the 433 photos taken during the week that were fit to keep, for an album to share with family and tell our story. It took me until lunchtime. Clare cooked lunch - sea bass fillets with beans from the garden, with a slice of apple pie and grapes to follow. Just right. We both dozed in the chair for an hour afterwards, then walked together to Pontcanna Fields and had a drink in the campsite cafe.
After returning home together, I went out and walked some more in Llandaff Fields. While we were away a permanent security fence has gone up around the Padel Courts, and an earth bank is being added inside this boundary to prevent the movement of passers-by from distracting players, and deter spectators. We'll see how well it works once the place is open for business.
It was past seven when I got back, just in time for supper. I spent the entire evening clearing space in one of my Google Photos accounts, as I'd had a warning nag about running out of space and urging me to buy extra. I downloaded three gigabytes of pictures in a dozen separate labelled albums, and copied them on to a spare SD card for off-line storage. So many stories told in pictures over the past twenty years, of family times and visiting beautiful places, only a fragment of my total collection on and off-line. And now, time for bed again, hoping for a more restorative night's sleep.
