¶ How Now Brown Cow

Pfff, another spectacularly unproductive day, not helped by the complete lack of sleep. I want to bed at midnight (after a good long chat with K.) and did the usual routine of watching something on YouTube to help me drift off which worked, but I woke at some point through the night with a terrible crick in my neck. I wasn't too bothered because I figured it must be time to get up, only to find out it's 2am and now I won't be able to get comfortable on account of the sore neck. The next two hours were pretty much the same - fits of sleep, fits of waking, punctuated with strange dreams about dancing (Scottish Country dancing at that, probably a hangover from Burns Night). So when I finally woke up at the planned time - 0745 - I was exhausted. And with a sore neck.

The day at work was pretty quiet as well and with the heating on all day and me stuck in this small oxygen-deprived room it was a real struggle staying awake through the day. At lunchtime I took the camera and myself out for a walk to get some fresh air. The proof of which is this cow, or whatever it is, I don't know. Something bovine anyway. And probably better rested than I am.

So I thought I'd get the blip in early because there's no telling how long I can stay awake for once the post-dinner dip sets in.
