Commentary
(Summary blog only. Last full blog was Day 0368).
The recovery continued today, though I have to admit I felt very tired and actually fell asleep in the afternoon, which is not like me at all.
Skyped family in Sheffield in the morning, then had a couple of our friends round in the evening for a takeaway supper. Very nice to catch up with some friendly faces.
Managed a town-walk in the afternoon and a slightly longer one in the later evening, but not pushing it too hard today in view of general sense of tiredness, and, more practically, the frosty-slippy pavements.
