Had a terrible night's sleep. Took some TOIL this morning and only worked in the afternoon. Went to Tesco after work and put my complaint into the Deputy Manager who logged it for me but said I would be best to speak to the head office, so I will do this when I am able to, either after work tomorrow or on my day off on Friday. Still can't take in it what happened yesterday. Feeling very delicate today. Started doing the beginning of salt washes this evening and already fed up with eating soft food only.
Weather feels very Autumn like today, fairly strong winds and lots of rain and a mixture of sunshine.
