    @punkdoc and anybody else with sleep probs - could blue light (from screens etc) be playing a part do you think?

    Just in case this was missed yesterday

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 
    I hope everyone’s had a restful night. 
    At least it’s only drizzling this morning … we had so much rain yesterday that there’s flooded roads in Suffolk and Norfolk again, and some ‘mudslides’ from high banks blocking some roads. Son went out yesterday and had to come home via Gt Yarmouth as the roads around Halesworth and Beccles were impassable. 🙄 
    OH is at home today 😊 … not a lot planned  … hopefully I’ll hear from the insurance company about  how much I’ll get for my car 🤞

    Hi all

    Very grey here, again.
    Hope you get a good price for the car, @Dovefromabove
    Watched Oppenheimer last night, deserving of all the hype.

    Morning everyone,  it was dry for all of 5 min when we first got up. Not sure what to do today now, was hoping to go to plots.  
    Did you sleep any better having been out @punkdoc, I do hope so. Even on a dull day the light outside is so much stronger,  we all need that boost at this time of year.

    Still only about 3 hours, @Allotment Boy, so not good. At the moment I am trying not to panic too much, because I know that will make things worse. I also know it is not uncommon for sleep to be disturbed for a few months after surgery.

    My OH is really keen to see Oppenheimer.  Not sure if we can get it as a dvd as neither of us wants to travel to a cinema to see it.  It looks as if there are a cluster of decent films this year - by decent I mean ones we want to watch; the Marvel etc. franchises may be decent films but of no interest to us.

    I bought a book recently: Edward Ist's Granddaughters as I learnt that one of them lived in our castle (now a ruin).  But it is very hard going - not particularly well written. She's done her research but it reads more like a darting about of various family trees.  I suppose I have been spoiled by historical novels, like Wolf Hall, so a proper history book comes as a bit of a shock.  Anyway - I had a day off yesterday and read lots more of it.

    And today I am back in the saddle with preparing for Wednesday evening's business get together and award presenting, and applying for more funding for the Festival.
