I’ve been awake for >24hr now, I managed the all-nighter without creeping off to nap. Full body reboot is imminent, I think. I’m very tired, and yet I had an oddly lucid morning. Seeing the sun come up and hearing the dawn chorus from the beginning was worthwhile.
I’m desperately trying to keep nap urges at bay, this is positively my last bit of typing today. Typing accurately is hard, I have to re-write some words 5 or 6 times to get them right.
Now, however, I have fuel in the shape of fish fingers (fish sticks) and sweetcorn, then we’re off out to feed bread to ducks, then I daresay I’ll collapse and sleep ‘til October.
