Camel woman

I packed up the backpack with simulated versions of things I will be taking on my walk such as bricks and dictionaries and, actually, it's OK - not too heavy at all. Of course I didn't use bricks but I did shove in some old clothes to get the load about right. I then didn't walk anywhere all day except to the polling station to cast my very important vote. I am going to have to do some walking today as I seem to have turned into a camel and am suffering from horrendous water retention which is making me feel quite unwell and very very large. I wonder if it was that pizza I ate or maybe I haven't been drinking much water lately. I will try to drink my 1.5litres a day and see if it makes a difference.
