… out again today.
Everyone was planning on going down to the reservoir here at the bottom of the hill. With having had very little rain this last few weeks, the water levels are quite low (but not unfortunately low enough to see the abandoned village at the bottom) and there’s a nice kind-of beach down there with kiddies’ play items. After lunch, everyone wandered off down there and left me alone for I’m still not feeling up to going out.
I stayed behind and had a little play with my 3D program. After all, my course starts in a week’s time.
And I shouldn’t be tired though, either. For the first time since I don’t know when, I slept right through the night without waking up. And it was the best night’s sleep that I have had for donkey’s yonks.
Mind you, that’s not quite true. I did wake up once, feeling the desperate need to go off for a wander down the corridor, and so I looked at the time. 07:30. Well, in that case I can hang on for another 15 minutes until the alarm goes off.
But I was having some incredible dreams during the night although, sad as it is to say it, most of the stuff had disappeared completely out of my head (it’s not as if it has much competition in there, is it?). I do however remember one small part – namely going into a model shop where, in the window, was an Airfix scale model of a Japanese Zero fighter with its wing broken off. I expressed an interest in the plane so the salesman fetched it and its wing to the counter. But that wasn’t what I wanted. What I wanted was some advice about soldering a wing onto an aeroplane, so the salesman went to fetch some kind of wing stub to show me how to do it. Yes, soldering two plastic objects together – and with a gas pistol too. It all happens during the night doesn’t it?
I had breakfast nice and early and then the nurse came round to give me my morning injection. AFter that, I did precisely … not a lot. I spent most of the time up until lunchtime working on my notes from Canada in the autumn.
And who can blame me? Both the nurse and the hospital have said “take it easy” and that’s precisely what I intend to do.
