Day 4 - doldrums
The pace is wearing him down. He overslept this morning which means that he only came on long enough to tell me that he didn't have time to come on and chat. I went to bed fairly soon after that (finished watching the episode of Castle that I'd started whilst waiting) but I couldn't sleep and I couldn't sleep. Finally, I got up, went downstairs with my book (Diana Wynn Jones' Year of the Griffins) and got myself a snack (or two or three). Finished the book around 4, went to bed and I guess I fell asleep pdq. Woke up at 8:30.
It was hot today. Very hot. Mid-90s. A real shock after the mid-60s and 70s of the past couple of weeks. I cycled into the school - pritnear wiped me out. That may be why I'm feeling a bit unwell now. or it may be allergies. Could be bunnies.
Had a longer chat with M before he went to bed. I will be so glad when he's home again.
For the record, I AM going to replace the wicker basket with something more suitable for my needs. That thing is an elegant (and expensive) piece of shite designed for someone who uses a bicycle basket just for show. It leans so far forward that I'm afraid anything I put in will jump out when I hit a bump and the mount isn't strong enough to carry anything heavier than my lunch. On it's side.
