It was after nine when I woke up this morning. Eleven hours in bed for seven hours of sleep, I was awake for four hours, traipsing back and forth to the toilet. When I got up it was sunny with clouds on the move, and less wind today. I felt mentally and physically tired for most of the day. I've not yet adjusted to the change of environment. Clare and Ann are enjoying being in holiday mode, I still feel I'm in survival mode and this seems to absorb a lot of my energy.
We walked into town to buy vegetables and mixed dried herbs with a fragrant aroma at the organic stall in the Old Market Hall. We went to the Sea View cafe and restaurant at lunchtime, but I wasn't hungry. I sat drinking a cup of tea while Clare and Ann ate lunch. Then I returned to Croft Court where I had a snack of rye bread, hummus and walnuts before dozing on the sofa until they returned.
Later in the afternoon, once I'd recovered and my head cleared, I went out and walked again for an hour before supper. I prepared and steamed cauliflower and carrots while Clare cooked scrambled egg on toast for herself and Ann. She turned some vegetable protein into a bolognese style sauce for me to eat with bread.
I completed my daily step quota walking around the house while Clare and Ann went for a sunset walk on the beach. I felt too tired to go out again, and started getting ready for bed early.
