It’s been a funny old day of fluctuating energy levels. I developed an episode of Irritable Bowel Syndrome overnight, for no obvious reason, although I might have overdosed on raspberries (doh).

I spent the afternoon snoozing on the sofa, and intermittently waking up to watch the next bit of the Australian Open final which I recorded last night. Bean wasn’t impressed with the tennis, nor with my full-length occupation of the sofa. The sun was hot though, so she was happy enough on the lawn. This was my view of her through the bamboo curtain as I lay prone.

Culinarily, there are a few days of simple food - rice, eggs, yoghurt, honey - until I feel ready to introduce anything more complex again. I’ve been here before: it’ll take 24-48 hours to ease. And in the meantime the crops will need picking and processing, IBS or not.
