OK, I still have a sore back (slept awkwardly again) but my brain is back in residence and I feel I can drive a car without the need to pull over for a sleep after half an hour! An improvement. I suddenly began to feel better around bedtime last night and was wide awake for 2 hours - how typical.
Yet at breakfast time, I had to lie down immediately afterwards and slept really deeply on the sofa for two hours. I think that was the turning point.
However, it looks like the A438 at Letton is still shut so I can't get to Hereford by that route (CT scan today). I have looked at the back road from Hay along the Golden Valley and that doesn't come up as closed anywhere, although there was bad flooding at Bredwardine at the weekend but I am not crossing the river there and the road through is on higher ground so I am hoping it will be alright. I shall set out early though, to make sure I am in good time.
I have finished reading The Magus of Hay, and started on the first of two more J D Kirk crime novels, A Whisper of Sorrors, where an old protagonist of his escapes the secure hospital he's in (having feigned being mentally totally incompetent for years after a head injury), but DCI Jack Logan always knew differently . . . A good read.
TV yesterday was history on Youtube and Dave's Countryside Walks (Dave & Whippet Logan) including one from Broadchalke in Wiltshire. He walked along the Shaftesbury Drove for awhile. I used to walk along there with my dogs when I lived just outside of Salisbury. Happy days.
Right, this won't do. A hair wash is in order.
This flooding seems to have come out of the blue. Our town has survived so far due to probably the money spent on flood defence a few years back. South Wales seemed to have had it bad. Glad you are beginning to see the back of your illnesses.
