Sheffield – 20th & 21st September

I’d done nothing all weekend from feeling exhausted and Sunday 20th September was not much of an improvement. I hadn’t slept much at all but when Captain Caveman got up I fell back to sleep and woke up at gone 10am. I was met with a cooked breakfast which was rather delicious – pork sausages!
Captain Caveman and I had just 11 days left in Sheffield until we both went back to Dalyan, him for 2 weeks and me until Christmas. We both were looking forward to it but I now needed to find a way to earn more money after spending everything I had on my week in Vegas. I blocked out time in my schedule for tomorrow to get up and finish The Handy Travel Diary for 2027. I needed to get it published quickly so that I could start to earn some extra royalties. Captain Caveman suggested that it might be a good time to start looking for a better paid job and move back to England.
I managed to do a post for my Resort Experts Facebook page which was a New York and Las Vegas holiday then I went back to bed and fell asleep again. I got up to eat a chicken dinner which Captain Caveman had cooked. I was still feeling really wiped out and had zero energy – it was an effort to even get in the shower.

1. Sausages
2. Captain Caveman cooking me meals while I rested
3. Getting some sleep.

Captain Caveman was up and off early on Monday 21st September as he was working in the Ilkeston office today. I was meant to be attending an online book writers bootcamp then finishing off The Handy Travel Dairy 2027. I really tried but I felt so ill that I could barely sit at my desk – neither got done.
I rearranged most things, did the bare minimum and went back to bed. Captain Caveman came home having called at Aldi again as he’d forgotten the baked beans last time and I was craving them. Here’s what he bought with prices in pounds:

1 carrier bag 0.40
2 tins of beans 0.78
Baby potatoes 0.99
4 Hot Cross Buns 0.99
1 protein bar 1.99
Gruyère cheese 2.99
2 bottles of Merlot 7.98
Total spent £16.03

I didn’t see any hot cross buns as they were for Captain Caveman’s lunches and he snaffled the protein bar on the way home.  When I’m in Turkey I miss baked beans as they are so expensive there so I don’t buy them.
Captain Caveman had worked a full day, hobbled about on crutches and then made me french onion soup for dinner to try to get me feeling better. I’d been back 4 days now and done very little but I didn’t seem to be getting any better!

1. Captain Caveman
