Bank holiday Monday starts slowly with decaf coffee and a chat. Neither I nor my partner feel like cooked breakfast so we have cereals and more breakfast before setting off to see more scarecrows and visit my partners brother in the village. Here are yet more of the scarecrows.

We spent time working out family gathering details with my partners brother over a cup of tea before retuning home. I get home with a headache and try to read my way through it but it doesn’t work so I take some paracetamol and have a nap. I think I might have my hair on too tight. When I surface I read the gas and electricity meters and send my figures off and almost immediately get my account. Who needs a SMART meter? Tea time comes around and having eaten I feel much better and go into the evening feeling more human. This evening drifts by in a flurry of TED talks by people talking about the nature of consciousness, this is so much easier than ploughing my way through large dense books that seem to be written in a version of English that is almost incomprehensible. To be honest there are bits that are totally incomprehensible. I get to meds time, draft the blog and go to bed with excited anticipation of the boiler being serviced tomorrow.
