Three hours of marking GCSE mock examination scripts and RESTING my body at the same time - I recline sideways when marking at home, to keep my heartrate low.

Other than mending a panel in our greenhouse (a 10-minute exertion post- #StormIngrid) this has been a recovery day.

UPDATE 1040 #Torcross is really taking the brunt of #StormIngrid. Really sad to see houses on front damaged...some...road on Slapton line undermined but no doubt Council will investigate when safe. It is currently CLOSED.

3 hours on and the centre of #StormIngrid has hardly moved 🤔

Big waves building over the Channel & Lyme Bay; the next 2 high tides could be very damaging for S-facing coasts!

Weird sights on my drive home just now:

Woman being gusted sideways

A dumpy bag appearing - then flying over a high fence

Lunch time, 6 hours on...

Well-behind my daily #VisibleHealth Pacesetter and feeling great, even after my outdoor lunchtime duty!

How?

1. Stability this morning due to lots of REST

2. No interactive Biscuit Game shenanegans today!

3. PPA from 10-11am, followed by Mock Exam Marking (seated) 🙏

...and with EliteHRV confirming excellent balance between my body's Parasympathetic and Sympathetic Nervous Systems (9 out of 10 Readiness for Friday) and KubiosHRV showing my highly-desired 'Normal' Readiness (neither too high nor low) today should be an easier day 🙏

It's a full-time job in itself monitoring my heartrate and heartrate variability (HRV).

But it's worth it, as it means that I have managed to keep working, despite the damage caused to my body by the SARS-Cov-2 virus 🙏

Friday morning at 0615:

Visible Health data show my decline Monday into Tuesday and then gradual recovery to today.

Stability regained after last weekend's overexertion...
