A sluggish start to the morning. A late supper with generous portions washed down by rum and ginger beer was great for a solid night of sleep but not so good for a perky rise. Today I am helping to set up an art exhibition in Tavistock. Thankfully this afternoon, so I should be at peak performance by then . The word ‘peak’ may be an exaggeration. My performance levels, at best, are only usually at hillock level.

Hillock= small hill or mound.

We’ve just had a fabulous two days with DFL friends and family. Two days of talking all things London and perhaps eating too much. They are crossing the Tamar into Cornwall now for more eating and drinking and I need to drive up the Tamar Valley and start being useful.

DFL= Down From London.
