It is hard, learning how much is too much..Pirate has had a bit of a down day. Late up and a long siesta after lunch.
I've caught up with some mending, tidied a little and experienced the great Meta server wibble....some wag suggested that Mr. Z tripped over the plug....
Wastebook and Insta are back....the rest, not yet apparently.
If only there was a viable alternative...on the other hand anyone starting out could see how big it could grow...
It was my phone's turn to be rung...for a change!!...A call from the daughter of a good friend...and her mother was with her...contact details refreshed..and a good chat for twenty minutes or more!! So much to catch up on...and even more when we can get together in the summer.
I made a cross between risotto and soup for supper...rice in one small pressure cooker, veges and water in the other...combine the two with a dollop of yeast extract and a tin of black beans....a quick supper and plenty of individual portions to freeze.
Thankfully we found interesting TV programmes after supper. First the Paris Nice highlights , then about how ordinary people lived in the 1800s...which kept him up and awake for another hour..you can have too much time in bed in 24 hours. It doesn't recharge your "batteries" the longer you stay in bed, too much and you end up even more fatigued.
Pirate wanted to watch the next programme on London's Bridges...it is fascinating...but he was ready for bed.
Now to tidy the kitchen, do a little Duolingo lesson and bedtime with Sudoku to relax and wind down.

...the body teaches us!
It’s a hard lesson to learn. Especially if you have been an independent person who always just got on and got stuff done
I did too much on Monday and Kim still recovering.
Your dinner sounds very yummy and it’s great when you can freeze portions for days when you haven’t time to cook
And still one day at a time, one foot after the other.
Healing is a lot of work… Sending love❤️
That sounds like a day with just the right amount of activities and rest for Pirate in it.
I hope today is a much better one. Best wishes to you and Pirate.
Yes - bed feels very welcome but in my case I do still try to get out of it for a few hours each day. Keep the old legs in some sort of working order.
Best wishes to Pirate - his meal sounded delicious.
Keep fighting. It really is psychological as well as physical. I know some days is seems attractive to stay in bed for longer, but the sooner I get up and do something the better I feel. There are some great programmes on the BBC iPlayer.
I'm sure there will be up days and down ones. I hope today was better. Those TV programs sound interesting. The Facebook outage was a good reminder for all of us about how much we depend on those platforms, for better or worse.
Recovery and healing takes time and the body starts to reset. It is a time of change which can be hard. Your meal sounds tasty and very healthy. Try to enjoy something "special" every day. i hope the weather is improving for you. I'd also like some sunshine and warmth in my part of the world.
