Thursday

It's going to be a quiet day today. I didn't sleep well last night and feel completely drained as a result. Considering we're in lockdown there was an awful lot of noise and car doors slamming during the early hours and once I was awake, that was the end of my sleep for the night.

Breakfast first, and then I need to catch up with blog reading and comments. I'm way behind so I wouldn't be surprised if that takes up most of the morning! It's a pleasant way to spend my time, so I'm not complaining! Once I've caught up, I'll do my Italian practice and then my daily exercise. I haven't decided what to do today but given that I'm so tired it'll be one of the less energetic options, so probably walking. 

I have another phone chat with J arranged for this afternoon. Our conversation this week is happening in installments as J has needed to end each call to deal with a work related call. We're usually luckier than this and manage to fit in a long chat but she's very much in demand at the moment so we'll just keep trying- this will be our third attempt this week, so I'm hoping it's third time lucky! 

I tried the Harry Potter quiz last night, the one that was abandoned due to technical issues last week. I really enjoyed it - it's Harry Potter, so what's not to enjoy? - but it was much harder this time. I only scored 56 out of a possible 80, partly because one round (10 points) was all about the Fantastic Beasts films but also because I couldn't name the wood each character's wand was made from. The quiz was supposed to be based on the films so I'd query whether this is actually information from the books and not the films (as I'm sure the films only mention Harry's wand  out of the characters mentioned in the quiz) but anyway I've decided I need to do some serious swatting ready for the next quiz, so I'll watch all eight films again, starting this afternoon. Let's hope I can stay awake!
