heleninwalesI woke up feeling totally recovered from the vaccinations. I think the pneumonia jab was to blame because when I showered this morning, I noticed that the arm that had had the pneumonia shot had a large red patch just below the vaccination site that was warmer than the rest of the arm. The shingles side only had a very small circle of pink. The patches have faded now and neither arm is sore.
So it was the normal Friday routine. I did the weekly big food shop in the Co-op then visited my elderly friend. We did the crossword together, had a cup of tea and a chat and then after coming home and putting away all the purchases, G and I had beans on toast for lunch.
This afternoon I have done various small tasks. I just need to do a couple more things before shutting the computer down for the day and going to make dinner.
Walking to Rivendell
Miles travelled today: ½
Miles travelled this week: 8½
Miles travelled from Bag End: 140
Miles still to go: 318
Percentage complete: 31%
Point reached on journey: We reached the Prancing Pony and were welcomed warmly. We met a suspicious looking man named Strider, but after being given the letter from Gandalf (which we should have received ages ago!), we decided to trust him. Following his advice we avoided being murdered in our beds by Black Riders or their associates. We had to set off the next day on foot due to the ponies having been stolen in the night. However, with Strider to lead us, we didn't get lost, even though he chose a circuitous route to confuse pursuers. We saw no living thing save for a few birds, squirrels and one fox.
