Commentary
(Summary blog only. Last full blog was Day 0368).
Well – we are both making progress on the back recovery front – copious quantities of tea and paracetamol helping us along the way. Mine seems to be almost better – I think with luck I’ll be able to go to the gym again tomorrow. Val is still suffering rather more and spent most of the day in bed. Hoping to get up later perhaps to watch a Netflix film.
I spent the morning making some more bread – I feel like I’m getting the hang of it now and might even have a go making a loaf from basic ingredients – i.e. not from a packet. Maybe need to get a bit more confidence with kneading first.
Then after a light lunch, I walked out to the Estuary road then through the estates to Yellow Walls Road and back along the coast path. I paused briefly to pick up a cup of (excellent) Barry’s tea from the Centra store on the way and then found a suitable seat to enjoy it while admiring the exceptionally high tide in the Broadmeadow lagoon. A lovely walk, with plenty of bright daylight in the longer evenings we’re benefitting from now. Time to make dinner!
