Spending an hour or two every so often writing the radio programmes &#8211; it&#8217;s difficult to concentrate to write a whole stream of stuff, and reading a few books. <\/p>\n<p>But you&#8217;ll be pleased (or maybe disappointed) to learn that I&#8217;ve not had any interesting dreams just now these last few days.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also had a few phone calls from friends &#8211; such as Liz, Marianne and Rosemary, and that&#8217;s nice too. Cheers me up no end.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that I&#8217;ll be feeling better by Saturday though because I have to go out and do some shopping. Must get the sprouts in for Christmas<\/p>\n<p>And talking of Christmas and Rosemary, I forgot to mention that I&#8217;m still eating lettuce out of the garden. Yes &#8211; I built up a raised bed with some old planks and laid an old caravan window across the top. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s kept the weather out and while the leaves are quite small, they are still there and quite edible. That&#8217;s something of a surprise, especially with the horrendous weather that we&#8217;ve had.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve had seven consecutive days of rain and since I&#8217;ve been back (2 weeks) we&#8217;ve only had one day of sunshine.
