Mooching about and more paddle boarding

I couldn't sleep last night- my head has this awful reaction to being over tired (because I worked hard on the lake against the wind, then went for late dinner, then stayed up until midnight watching my recorded bake off- much later than my usual bed time) where as I'm dropping off it plays out my fears vividly.
Sometimes it that I've left the oven on and started a fire, sometimes it's zombies but last night it was ebola.
It's so stupid, bit it's so realistic and horrible. Then I just end up lying awake trying to work out what I would do if that REALLY was the case. Which just makes me anxious and annoyed with myself for even thinking about it in the first place!
ARGH
So I ended up getting up and reading articles about kittens online until 3am. Then I got woken up at 8am by the bin men.

Being tired and grumpy this morning, I lacked any creativity or "get up and go" to decide what to do today.
Traff tasked me with the hoovering (Which I hate even more than ironing or drying up!) which I did after getting dressed.
With no real end game in mind I walked into town about 11, and bought a take-out tub of no-fat frozen yogurt as a kind of lunch/snack- I did make an error in ordering a "large" it was the size of the average cereal bowl.
I must remember in future than bluberi have very generous portion sizes- a small will be fine!

I walked down to the embankment and ate all my massive yogurt whilst watching the little fish in the water- they were all swimming close to the edge where it's warm.

That made me think of paddle boarding.
So I made to text everyone from yesterday and see if hey fancied an easier ride- as today it will be like a mill pond rather than like a storm.
And realised I'd left my phone at home.

I walked through the park and up castle road back to the house, sent some texts, cancelled my gym membership all pretty organised really.
I got an affirmative on the paddling from the wife- and a request for hula hoop sandwiches to eat in the car.
We have no hula hoops. As a testament to my love for him, I walked back into town in the sweltering heat to buy some.

We got to the lake about 4:40- and it looked like a mirror. Barely a ripple in sight. Paddling today was dream!
We got all the way to the opposite side of the lake- we saw goslings and loads of dragon flies - Sadly no otters or fish today. We had a good old explore.
And we got an extra 40 minutes as a freebie!
