It has been another cracker of a day. The sun has shone from first thing and it's been pleasantly warm. The forecasts turned out to be as truthful as President Trump's. We didn't have much on the agenda for today (read that as "nothing") so had a quiet breakfast.
I had my call with the cousins. Cousin Sam joined the call; she had been doing a charity walk last weekend and we were eager to hear the story. It turns out that at 26 miles she was feeling great, but the next section was cross country and by the 33-mile marker she was in trouble. She sat down to change her footwear and as she removed her backpack, felt nauseous. The next thing she knew she was "floating" and was convinced she had been in a car accident and her feet were trapped. Actually, she had passed out and was hallucinating. She was eventually carted off to hospital in the back of an Ambulance. A week later, she has some skin regrowing on her feet, she thinks 3 toenails might survive, and is planning to venture out of the house for the first time. She raised nearly £1000 for her charity so she is well pleased, and is determined to return and complete the last 13 miles of the walk once she has recovered.
Diane was planning to spend the day sewing so I spent some time on the Internet radio project (Plan C). I installed a dashboard on her iPad Mini and downloaded a radio player. I split the screen and had the radio playing while a dashboard showed the time, weather, and latest news feed. It seemed to work well and she used it without a hitch all day.
I headed out for a 90-minute walk then settled down with my Kindle for the afternoon. I completed the book that was in progress, read another, and started a third. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.
After dinner (which we had later than usual because Di lost track of time and didn't have lunch until nearly 16:00) we settled down to watch the first 3 episodes of Bosch: Legacy (the final series).
