The long dark tea-time of the soul

Tuesday 
I slept like a log. I did my exercises and before I knew I was out cold. Even though it was warm it didn't wake me. When I did wake up it was gone 8.30 am. So I set to and got ready to go out and meet Sue and Pete for lunch. Again I used the walker. I'm getting a little better using it, but its amazing how many people walk into you, because they're not looking. It never ceases to amaze me how many people walk around staring at their phones and not aware of anything around them. 
We had a nice meet up, and we parted company as they still had shopping to do. I was beginning to struggle by then and needed to sit. So Kev and I had  an ice cream in the shade of the tree opposite the church. Once we had those Kev nipped to Sainsbury's leaving me there and got what few bits we still needed. We then went for the bus. 
I was knackered by the time I got home and my leg felt uncomfortable. We soaked our feet in cold water to bring down our temperatures a bit. We watched a couple more episodes of Sandman, I am not disappointed...  And the guy playing the title role is the perfect embodiment of the graphic novel character I loved and still love. I am trying not to watch to many episodes in one go as tempting as it is. But it is beautifully done. 
We tried to stay up later in order to sleep better, but it's not much cooler even with the chillers on. I had to get up at 5ish in order to take some pain relief as my ankle has decided I've over worked it, and feels like it did the night after the second operation. I think tomorrow will be an exercise and bike day with little walking. I'm trying to listen to my body, even though I get frustrated by not having the mobility I would like yet. So a rest day it is.

  1. So, an Arty day then x Tempting though it is please don't overdo it and end up hurting yourself again...We do (And I think this is women more so than men) Tend to push ourselves more than we should.
