Stiff

Oh dear. I discovered during the night when I took a "bladder call" that my muscles had decided to go on strike after yesterday's exertions. My legs were stiff and painful and my back seemed almost locked in position. I returned to bed and went back to sleep until seven-ish. I struggled out of bed and made my way downstairs for some coffee. This was going to be an "interesting" day.

I had a quiet morning, trying not to bend too much and avoiding twisting at all costs. By late morning, the temerature had wrmed up nicely and I decided to go for a walk, hoping to loosen things up. A new audiobook was playing in my ears as I walked. My pace was a little slower than usual, but I was quite comfortable after a few minutes.

Back home I had just finished lunch when Zoe popped in to drop some clothes off for Ellie. She didn't stay for too long but it was nice to see her for a chat. We also heard from Kim. She has just bought a car to replace her current Fiesta. She needed an automatic gearbox for when her back plays up, so she has selected a Peugeot 3008, which she will pick up after Easter.

We had a quiet afternoon with our Kindles in the warmth of the Orangery and we have just finished dinner.
