Stoned tired, wedding of two radios and a nap with Giles Coren

1. Waking at five am has its pleasures. Of course when you went to bed at two am it's not quite so good because at some point in the day, probably earlier than later, the loss of "sleeping-blissfully-hours" takes its toll. Indeed that was true today. There was a point after lunch when I just could not stay comfortable or concentrate. My body kept sighing, and asking me to just close my eyes for a moment of "sleeping-bliss". I manfully carried on regardless. and achieved something reasonable at least even if it wasn't so important. There is a special tiredness that comes around four o'clock anyway. I'm sure that I've read about it somewhere. Like some kind of biorhythm energy drop. Its actually quite a pleasant, kind of "stoned" feeling...

2. Lil Phil's terrible joke of the day: "What was the wedding between two radios like? The service was poor but the reception was great". It made me laugh, as so often, with uncontrolled fits of giggles....

3. To say I was tired at the end of this odd little day is an understatement. I had a little supper this evening and slumped on the couch in my room and watched a programme from BBCi about Victorian eating habits with Giles Coren and Sue Perkin. Its a hilarious programme in a series of wonderfully entertaining shows but then I hardly watch the television at all just now. I download and watch later...I'm looking forward to watching the next one which might be about Elizabethans and food habits...but the beautiful thing is that I had a little nap with Giles after supper and a restorative gin and tonic...
