12th September - Lizzie

Catching up with sleep today, so alarm off. Get up very late which makes sense and is fine as some night shifts are ahead soon. In the dream last night I was trying to make peace with the person that cheated me, and told many lies to achieve it, peculiar dream, hmmm ... Waking up, shower.

Sitting, recollection.

Then I check the reading group site and read other people's reports. I appreciate working with other people, such a potential in sharing with the group.

Go to the shop to get the washing powder, do the laundry and have lunch, or does it count as breakfast ?

The book is due in the library so go to the centre to return it and print out one form to be sent tomorrow. Also pop in to the shop to get some food, hang out the laundry. With this humidity and the temperature it's going to take a long time to dry it here.

Then I'm off to Chorlton, have to change buses. One of them goes every half an hour, so when I see it away decide to run after it. The driver kind of waits for me, but just when I reach the door he leaves ! Just trying to be mean ? I don't know and it doesn't matter...

I go to meet Lizzie who's moving back to Ontario on Sunday. She is well and it's wonderful to see her in good spirits. Things are good except one little practicality - baggage limitation, so she will have to leave a lot of staff of here. Part of it was given to charity shops, part to house mates and I got some books. We sit and talk in the bar, talk about plans for the future, sounds good. We say good bye to each other and there is a good feeling in the air, we are friends. All the best on the way !...

Long travel back via centre, not much luck with buses today... Home, eventually, have dinner. George is also just back and we have tea together.

It's 21.28 now and it's getting late. Time for some practice, first Alexander lie-down, much needed, followed by some ear training. JotD, then evening exercise in semi-supine position. My back is very weak today, collapsing. Also play guitar !

In the meantime I send some emails, get headache, have toast with cheese and apple & rice dessert Ania made (delicious), also book a ticket for tomorrow. So good evening, although I'm drained. Altogether, a day low on energy but with some good highlights, ah, and it rained most of the day !

Tomorrow I'll be going to Harrogate again, next entry on Sunday.

It's 2.27 am
