Monday turned into a rest day. After getting back from Ipswich, we vegetated at Jackie’s place all afternoon, vascillating between should we go out/should we stay in. Despite being in London, one of the greatest and busiest cities in the world, we couldn’t quite muster the energy or excitement to go and do anything. This left me feeling in a funk most of the day. Surely we have to do something!

Luckily Courtney came over to see us in the afternoon/evening and we had take away pizza, sat in the garden and chatted. Courtney left about 8:30-ish, while it was still very bright outside, and Donna and I watched television.

Not the most thrilling of days but it was enough. And after a full week, we were probably ready for some downtime. Plus it was pretty warm (about 30C – which is warm when you don’t have fans or air conditioning or a breeze). It also made for a very restless and bad sleep. So that was Monday.
