Sunday and its hot early on. A walk to the shop for a paper and some odds and ends before a bacon bagel on the patio and a quick whiz through the paper. I start to gather up materials to read in preparation for a presentation I am delivering in July. I have twenty minutes to stimulate and inform a conference about recovery. I spent a long time looking for a book I know I have but failed miserably. In the end I borrow books from my daughter and add a few more that I have around. I retreat to the shed with them and begin the reading and thinking. There is a time out when I hang my washing out and then return to the books. So the England game gets closer and I settle on the sofa with yet another glass of water and a few figs. England win! I’m stunned and before I know it I am watching Austria beating North Macedonia, truly it was a real match. A friend rings and tells me about the session she has been to for the afternoon. The family do tea and then I do more football during the evening. I am working on the basis that if I flood myself that I will quickly habituate and return to normal life without too much damage. Tomorrow, I continue to drink vast amounts of water, eat no sugar or carbs and outline my presentation.
