Despite being shattered yesterday, I returned to water aerobics at 9.0 am this morning. Not a particularly amazing feat you might think, but then you don't know that it was pouring with rain!! It's a strange experience getting wet from above and below! Another good work out and then off to the history library to begin transcribing a new set of oral history interviews.
Our first weekend is almost upon us...will mostly be taken up with shopping and buying light bulbs. Everybody except us seems to exist in perpetual twilight. Our bedside lights are so dim it's impossible to read in bed or in most of the sitting room. We shall have to exercise some caution though over the wattage of the bulbs. Our landlords (delightful people who came round with a bottle of wine to give us a TV controller workshop) live just up the road and pass the house every day on their way to work. We don't want to alarm them by lighting up the whole street and giving them anxiety about their electricity bills!
