The 18th of May. Today has been very quiet. I had a terrible sleep (or lack thereof), being too hot and cold and needing to turn over every minute. I got up at nine o'clock, feeling incredibly sick, and staggered to the bathroom. My calves are not thanking me for the amount of walking I did yesterday.

I lay on the sofa all morning, just sipping water. At the end of Sunday Brunch, I went back to bed for an hour and a half, and when roused by my two o'clock alarm, I felt a little better. I get dressed and I've had a couple of slices of bread which have been okay.

This evening we're going to watch the BAFTAs and I'll have an early night. Silly body!

The 19th of May.

Today has been better; good sleep, no feeling sick, legs moving slightly more freely.

I got up and my hair was a total mess, so after breakfast, I stuck my head under the shower so I could blow dry it into a more aesthetically pleasing style. I was a bit desperate for coffee so Mommy went to Costa for me, and I watched This Morning while I painted my nails.

We went up to The Good Food Store for lunch, where I had a crab sandwich which was very yummy - no shell, nice granary bread. It took me a while to get there as I've really hurt my ankles with all my walking. I also nearly feel down so it was a good thing that Mommy went with me. We went home again for about half an hour, then went back out to pick up Christine from Axminster! We popped into the River Cottage Café where we bought some pies and I got a mint chocolate brownie which was very good.

Tonight there's thunder and lightning - no more mini-heatwave!
