I'm not sure why ~ but after a slow, but positive day yesterday, today was cancelled to do lack of, well, pretty well everything. The headache is ameliorating, although there is still a thumping party going on in my ears, but the sharpish subcostal (under the ribcage) pain is back with a vengeance, reducing me to do nothing much today other than sleep.
Bob will however be up to doing something rather different! From the guide, the plan today is:

Day 6: Namche Bazaar (3446m)
(Acclimatisation Day)
We remain at Namche Bazaar for a second night to allow for proper acclimatisation to the altitude. Namche is a prosperous village situated in a large protected hollow. It gained its importance during the period when Tibetan salt was traded for the lowland grains of Nepal. Today a limited amount of trade still exists at Namche and Tibetans are often seen in the village trading rugs and Chinese-made goods, clothing, salt and dried meat.
It is recommended that you take the opportunity to see both the sunrise and sunset views from the national park headquarters above the village. The stunning vista includes a superb panorama of the Khumbu peaks and great views of Everest. After breakfast, a variety of options exists. Perhaps a walk towards Thami (3810m) above the beautiful Bhote Khola River Valley or a visit to the national park headquarters to see the interesting displays of Sherpa lifestyle and culture. There is also a mountaineering display and information on the park’s flora and fauna. Your guides are on hand to offer advice and escort you on walks.
Big ((((Hugs))) to you FD. Hope your health takes a turn for the better today.
Go Bob BTW. He never ceases to amaze me.
It sounds like Bob's having a great time.
I hope your non-days become long-gone days.
