I was quite excited last night about the clear night sky ~ no clouds, and I'd hoped for a clear, crisp day today. No such luck.

Minus two last night was fine, but we awoke to a general light grey gloom covering the sky, and only allowing this filtered light through. It didn't improve, and neither Bob nor I had the enthusiasm to do much. We altered our plans and decided to go for a swim instead, maybe run in the afternoon. My gut continued to deteriorate today and I ended up staying close to facilities. Bob eventually went down for a swim, while I went to bed and slept for a couple of hours instead. I'm starving today, all I can think of is food. Actually, starving indicates that I am hungry . . . this is no doubt wrong, I just can't stop thinking about food. Especially chocolate. and ice cream. and chocolate.

I don't know how long this will continue, so the BBQ Stakes is in some doubt tomorrow. I might be able to have an exploratory wander on my own first to see if that works. Until then, I'll just keep my fingers crossed.
