Monday
Hard, cold weekend. Finally managed to catch up on some sleep. A combo of the (slightly better) iffy shoulder, my being a very light sleeper and the usual noises two lodgers make... well I think I'd be ok in a cave on a mountain provided I didn't moan about the wind LOL I've also been struggling to eat esp first thing.
