Aaargh!

Blatent self-advertising:
If you've not read it already my A-Z of Travel is over at The Teapot with thanks to Kezzie for the inspiration.

I had a terrible night last night - I'd been for a walk, and had an hour's dancing during the day, and then went to Cathy's for a delicious meal (salad, blanquette de veau, cheese, pecan pie) with a few glasses of wine. I obviously had not drunk anywhere near enough water throughout what was quite a hot day, as I spent all night waking up with terrible leg/foot cramps. One point I was in tears in the bathroom, as it was so painful! I must have woken at least 12 times. This is partly a problem relating to my ever-so-gradually shortening tendons, but I think it is also a dehydration issue: this morning I have only eaten a crispbread with a slice of cheese, but I've ben so thirsty that I've drunk half-a-litre of juice-and-water, a cup of coffee and a red fruits infusion!

I must remember that too much wine + exercise + not enough water = a very uncomfortable night!
