Well, he's 70 years old and he has been working 7 days a week for 3
weeks now and he's extremely tired every night, goes to sleep quite
early. It's hard for me to know how much of his tiredness is from
working so much or from his eating habits. He does seem to get enough
calories every day though - his evening meal is pretty large and he
usually has some nuts afterwards, sometimes with raisins.
