I thought I saw the sun rise through the haze over the rooftops when I got up this morning, after another inadequate night's sleep. High cloud prevailed. giving occasional glimpses of sky, and the temperature dropped to three degrees. I didn't feel hungry but my blood sugar must have been low as it often is before lunch, making me feel faint, thinking incoherently. Initially I thought it was due to another broken night, but I slept fairly well. I don't understand what's happening to my metabolism.
Clare had an early lunch, put a load of washing on the line in the sun, then took a taxi to Rumney to have her hair done by Chris at his salon. I made a veggie pasta dish for lunch and took my daily clot busting medication with plenty of water. My head cleared enough for me to record and edit next Wednesday's Morning Prayer and Reflection. I felt relieved that mental exercise didn't drain all my remaining energy. I helped Clare hang a load of washing on the line as rain wasn't threatened. It was still damp due to high humidity when I brought it indoors before going out for an hour's walk in Llandaff Fields before sunset.
As I was passing the camp site in Pontcanna Fields, a man emerged, eager to tell his story to someone else. He told me he'd just bought a jacket in a charity shop for four pounds, and found thirty quid hidden in an inside pocket. Just as well it wasn't someone's forgotten stash of drugs!
Before and after supper I made the first Morning Prayer video slideshow for the New Year using the audio I'd edited earlier and uploaded it to YouTube. I watched the concluding episode of 'The Night Manager', and then went out for a breath of fresh air and exercise before going to bed early, determined to get more rest, if not real sleep.
