That hurts!<\/p>\n

And in places where I didn’t even have places too.<\/p>\n

The early evening snooze that I had didn’t interfere with my sleeping last night because I had a reasonably-early night and was asleep until the alarm went off.<\/p>\n

I’d even been on my travels too, and who should appear but Zero. She who occasionally accompanies me on the odd night-time ramble here and there every now and again. Last night she was showing off her new tractor. She was impressed with a couple of features, such as the handbrake that sprung back out of the way after you had released it so far, and foot pedals that slid into place when you sat in the seat. I told her to be careful about the handbrake, and in my day it was the seat that moved, not the controls. But anyway she went off whizzing around in it to show off, and I hoped that she would come back to continue our chat. But then I had to travel off down some dirt track, and this had become part of a housing estate. But the rest of the area was quite overgrown and natural and had been declared a zone of Special Scientific Interest so we had to be very careful what we did and we could only park in certain areas.<\/p>\n

But I couldn’t get out of bed this morning. I was aching everywhere. But where I’l aching most is in the muscles that go across the top of the chest and into the shoulders. Just the muscles that you use when you are sanding down filler. And I’m still aching even now.<\/p>\n

It’s a good job that it was raining outside as I was in no fit state to go and sit on my wall. It was even a struggle down to pick up the baguette<\/em>. And I spent much of the day drifting in and out of sleep. That’s how tired I’ve been.<\/p>\n

However, I’m not going to let it interrupt my plans. I’ve no intention of “taking it easy” because that’s no quality of life. I’ll keep on going just as I always have for as long as I can, and if I have to pay the penalty over the following day or two, then that’s just part of the deal.<\/p>\n

So right now, I’ll go for a little walk again and see what I can manage. No matter what I do, I have to keep moving.<\/p>\n

And in the communal rooms across the Place, there’s a rock band that rehearses every week at this time. They aren’t much good but they are bashing out all the numbers that we used to play in “Jack the Ripper” and “Orient Express” in the early 1970s. I shall have to go and have a look at them one evening.

\nPOSTSCRIPT
\nThey were still playing when I went out fr my walk so I went for a quick butchers. Four guys in their 40s or so and a girl singer in her late 20s. Not very well-rehearsed, the drummer is too wooden and the lead guitarist isn’t as good as he thinks he is. As for the others, well, credit for them to being out there doing it.<\/em><\/p>\n
