It was very quiet as I walked through the village this afternoon. No customers at our newest pizza takeaway and I was surprised how many shops were closed …… some for maintenance during a less busy time of year but one permanently. Perhaps Covid is causing staff shortages too.

Still not feeling right. I’m blaming the new healthier eating and drinking regime that I started 7 days ago. No alcohol, swapping three of my many mugs of tea a day for water, less bread and more veg. I’ve also had four consecutive nights of not sleeping well. Will try and stick with it for another week.
