The next day

by Bobshouse on 19 Mar 2013, 06:57

I had seen on the forum about problems sleeping post fast but last night was the first time it happened to me. Having worked hard all day and kept my meal until evening I thought all would be well. The heavy lifting I did, shoveling gravel left me with aching arms. I woke once uncomfortable but discovered I have hip bones again. That was good. But then my bladder kicked in and I was up almost every hour from midnight to 5am. Lots on my mind I know and I truly was not hungry.
Today I need to get some shopping. Then I have to make shortbread and Florentines to refill the biscuit tins for the week. I also need to do a couple of tray bakes to take care of the cake department. Then I have to make a chicken pie to use the pastry I had ready for Bakewell tart on Sunday but didn't get to use due to puppy jumping gate into chicken field, chickens going to ground in the bramble patch and spending too long trying to cut them free. The last one wandered out on her own.....lesson learned. Have raised the gate so Bruno cannot clear it. It must be confusing as we praise him for jumping the gates at agility! Bit like we tell him to jump on the table at agility and tell him off for jumping on the coffee table. And I think life is hard! Bless him, he is a gentle giant, just a year old and 31kg.
Maybe I will talk a bit about my life trying to be self sufficient in future blogs.
Right now I am enjoying my porridge made with milk and honey, toast (homemade bread) with real butter and marmalade and a big mug of black coffee.

In for repair Monday, Wednesday and Friday
