It’s been another good week. All positive apart from the same pang on Friday evening when I realised that flopping down after a hard week mindlessly in front of the box was not an option. Instead I listened to Friday Night Is Music Night on Radio 2 which inspired me to spend a little while playing the piano, and I also did a bit of writing.

Last night was particularly interesting because I was incredibly tired. I had been attending a course all day and could really have done with having a lie-in rather than getting up and getting out to the course. So when I came home about 6.30 pm I was particularly shattered. I decided to cook dinner, do a couple of chores and then go straight to bed. Had I have been in TV mode I would have probably, despite my tiredness, got involved in watching something or putting a film on and not gone to bed until normal time. However, last night I stayed true to my early night promise and was in bed by 9pm. I never usually go to bed that early but occasionally tiredness requires it. I had the most glorious twelve hours rest and got up this morning feeling a whole lot better.
