Day 4 - Recovery



Wed. July 4, 2012

We have slept for a few hours and awake somewhat refreshed but groggy. We decide  to hang out on the wall of the Murray Canal and try to recuperate from both our physical woes and our spiritual hammering. 

Twilight on the Murray Canal
It’s hard to describe the feeling that you get when you are up against uncontrollable nature and it is, to some degree, your fault that you didn’t anticipate the difficulty. It is kind of like a depression. Also, the guilt you feel from having watched the cats, who have absolutely no idea why this happening, try to make do.

I have decided to make one of our favourite dishes, Shrimp Sambuca, tonight to try to take the edge off. It is still windy but it is supposedly going to die down by nightfall.

Mister Huxley, who much enjoyed running around outside on the wall the last time we were by here, jumps up on to the cement abutment and hurts her back legs when she misses the leap. She is noticeably troubled by it later and we are worried.

We have a bit more sleep in the afternoon and we eat at a table set up on the wall. Huxley seems okay, but a bit sore. The evening is as calm as they predicted and it is a good night for us but eventually the bugs drive us inside. But not before I compose a melody played on the iron railings on the wall. Video to follow.

Recuperation
 We fall into another dead sleep.
