Yay! Finished today’s shift. At home, Showered, and about to eat lunch. No more work until Saturday week. NEver too much time off. I can always find things to do, or just chill.


A little bit fresh first thing this morning. I’m still in short sleeved shirts and shirts, but I put on a light jacket when I left the house at 4.15 am.

Depressing time of year - less daylight each day, and temperatures are dropping. Hoping for an Indian summer.


515 am. Already at the salt mine. After today a weeks leave though.


Another day at the salt mine. I don’t like the shortening daylight hours.


Sitting in the GP waiting room. Waiting to see GP about cough and about blood tests from last week.


Being under the weather has meant no alcohol these past few days. I simply cannot enjoy a drink when I’m not feeling well - a hot toddy is not for me. In any case, even when work patterns allow, I don’t drink every day. 3-4 days off is good, and I usually only drink beer or wine anyway.


I feel much better today. I still feel a bit low on energy, but I’m going back to work tomorrow. In any case, it’s only for two days, since I have a week off next week. The immediate remedy? More coffee of course!


Yesterday, I went back to bed around 5.30 pm. I slept on and off all evening and night. I didn’t get more than about 6.5 hours of total sleep, according to my Apple Watch. However, I don’t feel so drained this morning, so I’ve got up and made coffee.


It’s 12.45. I got up at last. I needed the loo and also something to eat. I ate one of the sandwiches that I made last evening for work today.


Unlike me to still be in bed this late - 10.15am.
