Sometimes we have a drive out with no specific destination in mind, Jon calls this the left, right or straight on game, and we just see where the road takes us. In this case, we went up into the hills and turned right when we would usually turn left, we passed the pike, we passed the New Delight and then we turned a lot of different ways and passed the path to Hardcastle craggs and after it a hidden campsite, we went through Widdop and onto the moors, we saw a shepherd calling his dog, then a mile later we saw his dog patiently waiting with two sheep and looking back down the valley we could see the shepherd was now coming, we went past stone outcrops, erratics, drumlins and gulleys; streams and becks and raging torrents all stained brown from the peat and bubbling like coca-cola, we past a circular pillbox with a domed grassy roof, drove through a ford, then another and passed reservoir after reservoir and cloud formations par excellence.

The eyes have it all
Bad day, on all counts. The tonsillitis is back and I am now on my 3rd set of antibiotics as the 2nd set - some odd little beasts called Doxycycline irritated my tummy so badly I spent most of last night writhing around in pain grasping two hot water bottles trying to whimper quietly so as not to wake Jon and George. Jon took George to work and adapted his day to look after him around meetings and being in the office, I stayed at home wracked with guilt, illness and extreme fatigue.
Today also outlined some points about friendship. Two people besides Jon are going far out of their way to look out for me right now. Huge love and thanks go with them. Someone else is very conspicuous by their absence. At a time when we have needed help they are nowhere to be seen.
