Tuesday evening

Good evening peeps,
Well it has been a strange day. It was my day off apart from the papers and I wasn't sure what I would be doing.
But it turns out that I spent a big part of the day asleep.

I got up this morning feeling very tired and ill, I had been coughing in my sleep all night, I have been coughing since I was ill at the time the church and Jersey attacked me two months ago. But the cough has got worse, possibly because of the ramipril.

So I crawled round the papers. I was surprised and delighted to get a Christmas card and a good Christmas tip from one of my customers :) cheered me up because the rural routes are reputedly mean with tips, while the town routes that I no longer do, are supposed to be better.

Anyway, instead of going to gym as planned, I came straight home, had to wait for my neighbour's carer to move out of my parking space :) we have less parking spaces these days.
And then I went back to bed.

I didn't expect to sleep from 8am to 2pm though, what on earth?!

I just slept and slept, but the dreams were sad and lost.
I was relieved to wake up, but dreams linger, don't they?

I got up and drank tea, and then I decided to go for a drive, because the rain had faded and it was a cold clear sunny day.
So I drove for a while, and then I came home and cooked some fish while doing the next batch of cards, so finally the last few cards for Europe are done!
I think the last posting date is he 14th for those cards, but it has taken a week and more for some cards and letters to reach me, so I didn't even mean to leave the cards this late.

So I went to the rather busy post office and posted a big bundle of cards.

And now I am watching the Simpsons in the dark. The tv on the main ariel isn't getting a signal because the storms have returned but the tv on the temporary ariel amusingly has perfect signal.

I am just waiting for a new ariel lead so I can use the splitter and have both tvs on the main arial, but obviously keeping the portable ariel looks to be a good idea.

I am running late with Christmas this year, still got cards to do, but mainly local, and the flat has one strand of tinsel, on the wardrobe.
I haven't helped with shoebox this year, but I still hope to do a homeless centre one and also toy appeal, but I must get my act together.
Those of you who remember that I do the walk before Christmas, this year I changed that to starting on Easter Monday, I know the walk was originally Christmas-based but it isn't any more.
