kaberett(For starters, I don't have a migraine! I am just dealing with more familiar pain, which is much more tolerable in no small part because it comes with less of the distressing cognitive impairment.)
We wandered out to the allotment a little while after dinner, when the temperature had dropped all the way down to 27 °C. We watered plants. I had a bit of a rummage; I didn't find any fake snakes but I did see what I am pretty sure was a field vole, based mostly on the relatively short tail -- I didn't get a good look at how pointy its snoot was.
And we picked berries, and we came home, and we sat on the decking for a little Detecting A Bat, and admiring the Moon, and trying to work out who the probably-a-planet was, and I saw what I am pretty sure was a (remarkably orange) meteor and then reminded myself that yes, in fact, it's Perseids o'clock.
Somewhere in the middle of all that, the vintage-fountain-pen-in-need-of-restoration I'd accidentally ended up bidding more than I intended on -- I was mid-migraine, I was curious about how much I'd been outbid by, I kept nudging up my max bid until I was the high bidder and then went "... fuck", but it was only a tenner so it'd have been fine -- got sniped back off me in precisely the way I'd been hoping for. It has been very satisfactory all round, and I am very contented.
