Wednesday and I wake fitfully after a terrible nights sleep, I saw every hour and made at least two attempts to sleep on the lounge sofa. By the time I got out of bed my partner had gone to work and the builder badgers were under way. Breakfast is simple and taken quickly before I make the badgers a start the day coffee. My spoon reserves are very low so I make the decision to do very little today beyond recording video letters. I make a list and start my letters keeping an eye on the badgers digging up the front garden and moving the rubble from the back garden. As the morning goes on the spoil heap grows as the badgers get to work.

By the end of the afternoon I have made four video letters but I can’t get out of the drive to post them. At about five o’clock the promised big digger lorry arrives and in no time at all the drive is clear, its been an amazing effort by the builder badgers today.

Before I realise my partner is home , the builder badgers have packed up and left I have re-taped the improvised down pipe in the back garden. While my partner settles in before cooking tea I change all the bulbs in the bathroom to new LED lights. The effort uses up a lot of spoons and I return to the sofa to rest and dine. I am flagging already so I watch part of a film and Race across the world as I try to finish off the blog. There is nothing from the Americans yet, I guess it is going to be a while before they start to chase the money and get in contact again. I am hoping to get my night meds down me and have an early night and a better nights sleep than last night, I just want to be as good as possible for the visit of the grandson this weekend. I’ve noticed that over the years the period of time that my monthly jab affects has grown. Its definitely taking me longer to recover, it seems this combination of drugs is playing havoc with my gut so I am not keen on food too much.
