Tired but sunny Sunday

Wake at 5:30 again and let Norman into the garden for a pee and then go back to bed and sleep until half past seven. I have less energy today, although I slept quite well. Make smoked salmon on cream cheese and rye roast for breakfast and a pot of strong coffee. Outside it's overcast but warm and there is a stiff breeze out of the southwest. After breakfast I shower and dress and then drive to Saint John's for nine O'clock Mass, leaving the patio doors open so that Norman can get out into the garden. I will take him for his walk after coffee with Leslie, later this morning. The church is less full than usual, perhaps with the school holidays starting quite a few people are away. We have nice hymns today, the 23rd psalm and "all people that on earth do dwell". I do like a good sing! After Mass I call in at Sarah's but the decorators must be having Sunday off. Leslie and I drive to Caffe Nero for our Americano's and Pain Au Raisin. We leave about eleven fifteen and I drive back to Tickton via Tesco, where I pick up the Observer and some coffee filter papers. Normy is asleep in his basket when I get in but He wakes up and I pop him on his lead and take him down to the wooden bridge. I had hopes of finishing Andrew's garden today or at least catching up on more of my housework, but I feel really tired again, this bug isn't letting go without a fight. If I am no better tomorrow I will book an appointment at the doctors. When we get back I make tea and beef sandwiches and take these into the garden with my paper, but it is too windy and the paper keeps blowing about so Norman and I move into the Garden Room. I feel very tired but resolve to do the Observer sudoku and the killer before having a nap. I manage the former but have to leave the latter incomplete until later. I sleep like a log until five and then get up and give Norman his dinner and make myself more tea and toast and honey. I eat this in the garden in the late afternoon sun whilst reading my book. Around seven I take the dog down the lane for his evening walk, when I get back in I have an e-mail from Clement in France, which I reply to straight away. I haven't heard from Andrew for two weeks, I emailed him on Tuesday but still haven't had a reply. Finish my James Lee Burke crime thriller and go to bed at around ten.
