Then a couple of glasses of water + slice of lemon. Then back to bed to read a prayer and, hopefully, more sleep! Counting the hours during the day until it's time to prepare the evening meal. Fortunately I seldom actually feel hungry during the day but my sense of smell is always more acute for things like baked bread, chicken barbecue etc! But the early getting up in the morning is, for me, a killer every time! Love, Thelma I’m posting this on behalf of Thelma Batchelor:
