I started doing this diary in June, it's quite new. If you haven't been following have a look at the Cast of Characters which gives a quick low down on the essential day to day characters who are mentioned here...it will make more sense if you do.

Determined to have a day off today. Made a good start by not getting out of bed till 1.00pm, which is not as slobbish as it sounds since I hadn't turned off the candle till 5.00am the night before. Very leisurely coffee and fags and then, after a very leisurely bath, more coffee and fags over at Irenes caravan. She has a freind staying at the moment who came all the way from Eire for the party, and she accompanied our morning (well, ok, so it was afternoon by then) coffee on her fiddle.

Well, my idea of a nice day off is playing about with my html files and I managed to do that for several hours before being interupted. Clare came over to dig the hole for the new gate post to go into and asked me if I'd like to mix up the cement for it. I had to be very strict and say nope....day off....sorry. Felt guilty as hell and had to go check it out with her but she wasn't annoyed. I'm lucky to have freinds who understand my strange foibles and peculiar moods. I did go and hold the post while she poured the cement, but that wasn't exactly strenuous and that's just about all I did today. It wasn't even my turn to cook dinner. Haven't made a single phone call today..... or been to town...or written any letters.....or schleped any wood or coal.....or done anything useful at all. Exactly the day I had wanted. I should feel better than I do, maybe another good night's sleep will do it.
