influenza maybe

 The radio controlled clock on the table shows the wrong time. It is an hour off. It failed to connect to its transmitter, and is just staying calm and carrying on. There is poor coverage in the house here, people with mobile 'phones are regularly cut off.

There is not much there for breakfast, but make a cup of coffee and have some toast.

Deal with retouching the pictures taken yesterday, some of them are in order and some are embarrassingly bad. Errors will happen, but this was almost serious.

On the way to the shops realise that the legs feel strange, they feel weak. Try walking faster, but that does not change the feeling.

Neither does walking more slowly.

Go upstairs to the shoe shop and collect the insoles for the shoes. The people are very friendly, and the amount of paper wasted during the bureaucratic procedure is astonishing.

After returning with the shopping have a conversation with the son, and then go on to the meeting in the gallery. This is a strange event, with some talk of politics.

After drinking a cup of coffee go home. Meanwhile, it is not just the feet that feel strange. Print out the pictures, and lie down for a few minutes. 

Wake up later feeling very cold, despite the fact that the room is comfortably warm. Stand up and feel dizzy.

This is probably the 'flu. 

Write these notes, and plan to lie down again.
