Gosh, I really DO need this holiday, as I have not a jot of energy. Vacuumed round this morning and then had to rest before going to the Library, and looking for Rosie books for here in one of the charity shops.
I slept better last night - many thanks to anon friend who posted about a podcast called Nothing Much Happens, which she said had helped her with her poor sleep. Well, I have to say, I was very aware of my breathing slowing whilst I was listening - the woman's voice was very slow and soporific and it did seem to help. I only woke once (for the loo) and then at around 6, my cat alarm clock went off!
I went to the Library too, and got these books (well the Brecon Gaols one was a renewal). As I did the veg for my evening meal at breakfast time, I am now going to go and have yet another daytime nap . . ..
Hope you feel refreshed after your nap and raring to go on your adventure.
ReplyDeleteA very good Rosie haul, she will be delighted. ❤️
ReplyDeleteFun books for Rosie! I followed my mother's example of reading to my children even beyond the time when they could read for themselves. It was more a winter ritual than summertime, gathering around the wood stove in the old farmhouse before scuttling upstairs to chilly bedrooms.
ReplyDeleteI notice at church how few people can read aloud well--it is becoming a lost skill.
I recall once visiting my elderly friend when I was worn out and tired. She insisted I lie down on her daybed and announced, 'I 'll read to you from an utterly boring old book and you'll fall asleep.'
She was a wonderful reader, but could temper her style to a monotone that definitely allowed me to fall asleep!
I'm sure the cats will want to be part of reading to Rosie!
