Holiday plans

A fair night's sleep. Nine hours in bed, two hours awake. I posted today's Morning Prayer YouTube link to the Parish WhatsApp prayer thread as 'Thought for the Day' was running on the Today programme. I was Clear headed and sharp waking up in sunshine with no threat of rain, but the sky clouded over anyway and so did my head after taking my morning meds. I went to the Eucharist at Saint Catherine's. We were seven this morning. Ann and Paul were there, giving an opportunity to ask if we could hire their place in Tenby for a couple of weeks self catering holiday in May. Our Ann is going to join us 

Clare was out shopping when I got home, so I cooked and ate lunch, with a deadline to arrive at Parkwood Clinic for an acupuncture session with Peter Butcher. Despite the negative impact of the meds on my brain and muscle stiffness requiring an effort to maintain a decent pace, my general energy levels remain high. Even if I get tired, I'm not being debilitated by the toxic effect. When I got back home I slept soundly in my armchair for an hour. Two things to give thanks for. I walked for another half hour at sunset, but thick cloud made it seem as if it was already dusk.

I treated myself to another episode of 'Lolita Lobosco' this evening. An enjoyable mixture of serious crime drama, romantic and domestic comedy with superb acting and laugh out loud dialogue set in Bari, modern  Italian movie story telling at its best.
