Hey! Posts on two consecutive days - must be feeling good! Third night with Nippy on the whole slightly better. Woke a couple of times needing a drink and settled to a more natural sleeping position after the second rousing at 4 ish to sleep until nearly 8 am. Got up for bathroom and found neck to be ok, so decided to come through to the pc which is now sited in front of the Lift Lounge window on the first floor, overlooking the park. The sun is shining and there are some strings of cumulus giving perspective to the light blue sky. I'm hoping that Caroline will make some tea soon!
We had a pleasant evening yesterday when she returned from her day at a luxury spa with all the ingredients for a prawn & coriander curry which she prepared while we all sipped Chapel Down Rose watching Mo Farrah win his second gold. With dinner over, and the wine bottle drained, we settled down to see Bolt's team make a record run for relay gold and Tom Daley dive for bronze, whilst we nibbled Florentines, washed them down with fruit tea or espresso and digestifs, tweeting away the hours before bedtime.
All these things, so simple, so ordinary but on which the tenure of my lease will be foreclosed by the heartless advance of ALS; though that makes them even more special and I enjoy them more keenly.
Tonight is the Olympics closing ceremony, which I hope will not be an anti-climax in comparison to the outstandingly memorable opener. Suggestions on Twitter for possible features are sticking an atomic charge in Boris's fundament and firing him out of the stadium, and putting Elton John in the event time capsule! However, let's wait and see.
