Alarm went off at 7am. Snoozed till 7:10am. It's now 7:35am..... lost 25 minutes somewhere. Clothes out of the drawer ready. Off for a shower.
7:47am
Out of the shower. Lavender baby bath and herbal essences conditioner. Fighting tiredness but pleased to be up. Let's see if i can get dressed by 8am. 12 minutes to go!
7:53am
Dressed. Still need to do hair. Put deodorant on. Go for breakfast. Drink tea. Important in order to shake the fatigue!
8:26am
Upstairs again. Packing lunch. Pair of Women's black high heeled boots?
8:43
Lunch made, teeth done. Bag packed. Drank a pint of water fast to try and wake up. Mug of green tea. Found important reading so thought I would take it with me on the bus. Rapid Response and my proposal along with several books and of course A Good Night Out
9:25
Blackwood Miners audio cd complete. 6 minute version and 18 minute version on a disc ready to take to the conference. Fingers crossed that they have something there to play it on. I'm expecting UPS to arrive before 10am to pick up my laptop. fingers crossed that they do because I need to get up to the porters lodge to catch the bus to Gregynog. I hear the door go downstairs. Dyfrig has gone to work.

I received a 2nd R.S Thomas Poem from a different friend this morning.
The Bright Fieldby R. S. Thomas
to illuminate a small field
for a while, and gone my way
and forgotten it. But that was the pearl
of great price, the one field that had
treasure in it. I realize now
that I must give all that I have
to possess it. Life is not hurrying
on to a receding future, nor hankering after
an imagined past. It is the turning
aside like Moses to the miracle
of the lit bush, to a brightness
that seemed as transitory as your youth
once, but is the eternity that awaits you.
9:47
OK... Time to go. Doesn't look like UPS are going to get here in time. I need to some running shoes and trousers. Newtown, Aber, Blaengarw, Aber. There really needs to be more time in the week. I was invited down to the assembly rehearsals. Wales is so small yet so incredibly difficult to travel around!
Bye!
