Day 114 – Another gray day

The boys set off for a round of golf in the morning on the Hill Top course. I met up with them after an hour as they played the hole closest to the house. I managed one hole, way over par, but gave up after a terrible tee shot on the next.

After watching a bit of cricket I took a walk to the shops. I noticed on the way I felt a bit light headed and my throat started to hurt. By the time I returned I was feeling pretty giddy so made lunch and lay down on the sofa. For the rest of the afternoon I just felt worse and worse. The boys returned with some surfboards on the car and my heart dropped. All week I’d wanted to surf and now I felt rotten.

We all sat watching the cricket and the boys started on the beers. As I wasn’t drinking I offered to collect some pizzas. The fresh air did me some good but I couldn’t manage much of the food.

About this blog

Welcome to the personal blog of Robert A J Ford, a professional interaction designer and developer based in the UK.

I started this blog in 2007 to record my cycle training leading up to the Etape. I've never been one for diaries but this format works well with my job and lifestyle so I expanded it to record details of other training and events.

As the blog grew it became a space where friends and family followed my activities. Their feedback has inspired me to keep writing. I hope you find something of interest and please feel free to leave comments.
