Woke around 0800...back and neck giving me right gip. Got up and made tea. Sat up in bed for awhile before rising to porridge. Did some exercises in a partially successful bid to reduce the discomfort. Did some chores...a bit of ironing, and some packing ahead of our departure for Rotterdam tomorrow morning. Aki cooked a tasty cheesey omelette for lunch. Pottered about not doing very much. Feel very stiff and uncomfortable. Aki popped out to Morrisons in the drizzle. Finished off the mapo for dinner, with rice and gyoza. Cheese and biscuits for afters. Early night ahead of tomorrow’s adventure…
