Defeated

I woke this morning from ten hours of gloriously uninterrupted sleep, dehydrated and my mouth befouled with the taste of last night's dinner. Still, my headache had vanished and the whites of my eyes were once again white, rather than fully bloodshot. I slowly winched myself out of bed, showered and then heading out into the sunshine, ready to see Tokyo.

Out cold

Today I woke up at 1 o'clock again. I'm hoping this isn't going to be a regular occurrence. This time I didn't stay up and rearrange the contents of our flat, because the flat is now thousands of miles away. Instead, I took another melatonin pill and slept for five hours, and when I woke up again, read the rest of The Bloody Red Baron.

Sneezy

Today was an eventful day. It was packed full of things, partly because my wife and I both woke up at 1 this morning and then couldn't go back to sleep.
