    Tristan is not well. Apparently his 'worn out' should have been translated as something more like 'totally wiped out and running a high temperature'. His sister is pretty worried about him. He just mailed me and sounded pretty out of it. Ok, edited to say I just spoke to him and he is doing better than I thought, yes he has a temperature but he is in bed and being looked after so hopefully it is just exhaustion and the bed rest will sort it.
    OK, off to get my list

    Morning all

    Welcome new people and returners

    Well done on finding the safe keys Greenbee

    Why is it that I've slept brilliantly for the last 10 days or so and then, last night, when I'm due back at work today, I'm awake at 4.20am and can't get back to sleep? I'm going to be knackered by lunchtime...

    V. cold and frosty again this morning.

    I will fly when I get home this afternoon

    Morning all. Back to work for me today, so less flying going on during the week and more of a catch up at the weekend I expect - still, the house had a good work on last week so hopefully I will be able to keep it reasonably tidy without too much stress.

    Have a good day - hugs and positive vibes to those that would like them.

    Morning all

    I'm in this week, as much as work permits! Ugh, getting out of bed was hard this morning, still I'm up now. Have showered, dressed and eaten breakfast. Will just finish my cuppa then brave the icy pavements! Will attempt to fly in the kitchen tonight.

    soappie - I had a similar thing, though I woke just before 6am, and it took me ages to get to sleep. I think it's when you're aware something is going to be different so your mind/body can't quite relax!
