Well, one week out of action has drifted into two, but thank goodness, I'm starting to show some signs of improvement at last! I'm just left with a 'post-viral cough', which doesn't sound like much, but it's exhausting to live with! Still, the daily views from The Cottage remain as splendid as ever.
I even started to go a little further along the track earlier in the week.
A few days ago, I freewheeled down the hill to see the sea and get some salty air in my lungs. A major expedition, but one which cost me no output in terms of energy, thanks to the beauty of eBike power (thanks Pat - it felt like a real lifesaver!).
Spent a bit of time, sitting on the pebble beach, watching a fishing boat trawling the straits, enjoying a hot drink from our flasks, before 'motoring' back uphill.
Due to inactivity and recent games, in the Cabin on the Husky expedition, Chess has made a major come back in recent days. As has the ever re-filled teapot! (thanks Neil!). I don't think the fire has actually gone out in quite a while too.
On Saturday, we went for a 'test run' (well, very slow walk in reality), to give my lungs a bit of use.
It was overcast, but beautiful, up on the hill behind The Cottage, but it was slow progress and a restful afternoon was required afterwards.
On Sunday afternoon, I gave the eBike another spin - this time, over the river (which was in prime kayaking conditions) and up the valley to get a new view.
The eBike is a real savior as it requires almost no effort to peddle, yet gets me out and about.
The cough remains and I'm yet to sleep a whole night uninterrupted, but feel that it's getting close... Not long now....
