.... 14.30 All my travelling
yesterday has left me feeling lethargic today, though I been ‘out and about’
this morning. Jim and I took “SD” up
to Shell Bay woods for his morning gallop, just as the rain started so

we
missed the heavy stuff. Jim then picked
up Myra and the three of us went to the
Harbour House for morning coffee.... and a quiet blether. By the time we left Harbour House the rain
had stopped, and the sky was beginning to clear; it’s now ‘bright and sunny’.
My
lethargy hadn’t left me by midday so I went to the Chemist’s and bought a pack
of Lemsips .... and had a run down to the harbour. I was approaching the bottom of Admiralty
Lane when Jimmy suddenly, ... er, .. suddenly isn’t the word ... ‘bumbled’ into
view’. I picked him up and took him
along to the harbour where he could walk out to the end of the pier; when he was doing this I would be taking
photos on the beach. The weather had
improved to ‘pleasant’ by now so we were in no great hurry. Eventually, having done the ‘harbour
thing’ we went back to Ivy to have a cuppa, before I took Jimmy

back to
Wadeslea: with me retracing “SB’s”
wheel prints back to Ivy .... and a Lemsip.
22.00 My afternoon has been spent pottering
around Ivy trying to shake off this lack lustre feeling.... and generally have
had a ‘lazy’ day. I’ve been watching
the television on and off .... there was an interesting programme about chimpanzees
in the afternoon, which I missed the end of because I fell asleep. I’ll pick that up on i-player. In the evening I watched the gymnastics,
and it took me a while to work out what was missing! Puku’s that’s what! Not a decent “Puku” in sight! When doing the floor exercise I’m sure a puku
would give them a bit of bounce! Then there

came the rugby. My eyeballs have had a strenuous day.
My
day ended with a nice hot bath, my first bath since my hip replacement. I
wondered about getting ‘up and out of the bath’, but reasoned that I forget about
the hip most of the time, so I’d just be careful. Showers are fine, but I do like a long
soak in the bath once a week.
