Success - we made it round Ford car boot sale.
I was determined to do it.
I woke up fearing that I might not be able to do it. I got up and began shaking and experiencing a hot flush.
But we set off for Ford, expecting that the sun would come out and all would feel lovely.
I felt satisfied to have gone - but never really felt in complete control.
I wanted to buy, for I had sold lots during the holiday.
I had noted that almost no china had sold, so tended to look for other things.
I came home with a varied assortment - a dark green portable typewriter, a large linen basket, a fur muff, a huge rolling pin and a few books.
We breakfasted at The Balaton, looking out over the river - the incoming tide swirling upstream.
The skies were still grey and we felt rather cold.
Once home, I had the strong urge to rest.
The nausea and headache made me just want to "iron the sofa" - lie down.
Bill is feeling quite rough too.
His rheumatoid arthritis has flared up quite badly.
And I guess we both are suffering from jet lag. We have noticed every time that our journey from east to west leaves us suffering - sometimes for about a week.
I don't know how politicians and business men manage, for they reckon that jet lag can affect you for as many days as hours you had to change on your watch.
No pictures again this evening - I want to go and watch X Factor.
But Jamie has some on his latest weather blog.

Definitely not all about the weather - he always provides a good read.
