Colder.

I had a very good time last night. For one reason and another there were only 9 of us so we only needed one table. This year we were lucky that our table was right next to the dance floor which made it a lot easier to get up and dance, in fact we spent most of the time dancing right up to midnight.  I have been suffering a bit today, nothing at all to do with drink as I only had a diet coke, water and coffee, but mainly due to the fact that having spent a year in flat footwear I danced for 3 hours in 3.5" heels. I didn't get any blisters but it was so good to slip on my Ugg boots when I got into the car. I was home in bed by 1.00, read until 2.15 to give my tablets time to kick in and by 3.15 my knee and foot were still throbbing so I gave in and took a Tramadol. That got me off to sleep but then Peter offered me a cup of tea at 6.00 which I gratefully accepted before going back to sleep for an hour. Then it was time to get up as I was meeting a friend and planned a day in town. My throat is also a bit sore but that might have been due to singing along with any records I knew. The last sore throat cleared up in a day after the imbibing of a hot toddy so I may try that again.

After meeting my friend for a good catch up over coffee and cheesecake I spent the rest of the day shopping. After the torrential rain of the last 24 hours it was a relief to see blue skies though it was a bit disconcerting to get rained on by the occasional shower while the sun was still shining. I got to see a bit of a rainbow at one point. It's a lot colder today which is one of the reasons I rushed to get the wall done.

Coming home the  sunset was quite subtle.

I think I shall be going to bed early tonight.
