Tuesday 29th Sept

I woke about nine and did the usual, dogs out, computer on, coffee made and then hours on line, ant slept in until eleven so i had finished by the time he surfaced. We had a chat about my malaise as i am getting worried that i am finding it harder and harder to get the urge to do anything, we decided we would go out for a day at the beach with the girls. We drove down to Berck, about half an hour away, parked up and found something to eat, then moved on to a quieter area, the nudist bit of the beach, where we could let the dogs run wild and sit to eat our picnic. After eating, with a glorious view of the sea, slightly marred by an elderly naked man who insisted on standing up and mooning us on a regular basis, we went for a long walk along the beach, then sat for a while and chatted before walking back. It was a really nice afternoon, the weather was good, the place relatively deserted apart from one or two naked folk, we were fully clothed, i don't like to be naked in front of the dogs, especially since Ruby is a big licker.
We got back from Berck at about five thirty and i started making the dinner, a beef madras, ant went for an afternoon nap and i had a little more online time. At seven we watched the simpsons, then the 16th Century farm program, history of Scotland, then a design program, the tv was actually really good. We headed up to bed by twelve, quite tired out and pleased we had had such a good day. I finished the day determined to get to grips with my apathy and get up the next morning and take the girls out for a good walk and then get on with stuff, a walk in the morning generally gives me energy and the desire to get on and do something. I have started to gain weight again and am a little worried i will get back to where i was at the start of the year, which is no good, so i need to nip it in the bud.
