Yesterday? A write off. Tam did say that I could well have an off day on the back of my good one and she was right. I can only assume that my body got hit by suddenly having no steroids. I didn't even go outside - just so tired and had to sleep morning and afternoon too. The steroids have brought my appetite back and I have suddenly put on 3 lbs almost overnight, which I could do without.
I was in bed by 8.30 p.m. and STILL AWAKE at midnight. Bladder in overdrive too. Awake at 3 a.m. and now downstairs (4.40). I am so fed up. Can we fast forward to Spring please?
I discovered a new-to-me programme on tv, Great British History Hunters, and watched a couple of episodes of that yesterday. It deals with the finds of metal detectorists, and boy are there some lucky ones out there! Imagine finding this:
The amazing Shropshire sun pendant, a Bronze Age piece which was cast into a bog 3,000 years ago and found by a lucky detectorist in 2018. For some reason this had not crossed my horizon. Just look how skillfully it had been worked and by a master craftsman who had only his sharp eyesight and skill to make it. (Photo copied from Portable Antiquity and Heritage Issues Blog).
At least these programmes cheered me up a bit. I am just so cheesed off with being stuck in the house and can't even drive far until washer jets sorted.
Anyway, some very good news for Wales, as the Tour de France is returning to the UK and the route through Wales comes down from Newtown to Cardiff, via Llandod and Builth!!! Not till 2027 but that will be something exciting to look forward to.
More of the Pippi picture has been sewn, and I am on the pond now. I will have to measure it up and look for a little frame for it in the charity shops.
So, not a lot to report. I hope I will feel a bit more with it today - despite the lack of sleep.
