I took my first deep breath of the day tonight as I lie in bed watching a television programme on my laptop. I’ve just taken my echinacea in two forms so maybe that’s why. Does echinacea even do anything? I don’t know. I said it maybe. Note that I’ve been breathing fine, I just didn’t have a Nice Deep Breath until now.

I drank cider all afternoon with my chum I’ll call “Susan”. That doesn’t need to be in quotes. That’s her real name. I made pasta with cucumber and tomato salad and salmon with lemon and various herbs. And roasted zucchini. A Use Up As Many Things As Possible lunch so that I Can Fit Things In My Fridge Again.
