Following St Cuthbert

Quite relieved, this morning, that it's a home day on my phased return to work, as sleep's been quite elusive over the last few nights. Enjoyed the luxury of a cup of tea in bed, followed by a long, hot shower.

Determined to start building up some stamina, so accompanied MrM and Louie on a walk round the Common this morning, then walked back home from there - down hill all the way. Also accompanied MrM on a very short part of St Cuthbert's Way late in the afternoon - the not very steep uphill slope felt like Everest! Walked back down towards the Common as the sun went down.

In between walks, a little paperwork and then the first Pilates class. Seventy-five minutes of gentle, but intense, exercise - suspect I shall "feel" my stomach muscles tomorrow!
