Been a decidedly funny day. Driving up to the caravan I was obsessing about disappointments and frustrations so I was pretty wound up by the time I got here. Reliance on tablets to get through the past few days with the minimum of pain has been getting to me as well. My forehead is pretty much healed but the ankle is going to limp on for another couple of weeks yet, I imagine.

I scraped together enough change to have £10 to spend in Lidl on food for the next five days, and I'm pretty chuffed with what I achieved. I've probably got more than I need. That's a good outcome.

The eclipse was interesting and certainly an experience to note, but it wasn't as impactful as the last one in 1999. I remember it getting darker and colder then.

Don't know what I'm going to do for the next few days. Been calls and emails from the old place which I've dealt with. Phone is now on DND.

I might actually sit on the beach tomorrow and have a paddle.
