Thursday and its going to be a busy day. I do not feel like I am ready for a busy day. I get up and make breakfast and take my meds before girding up my loins and start my first task of the day, namely to prune the front drive private hedge. I gather up my garden tools and head for the front drive and spend a couple of hours thinning out the hedge. It looks harsh but it will recover and it wont scratch the cars any more.

As I am finishing the hedge a friend of my partners arrives adn comes in for coffee. My partner and her friend chat while I finish the front trimming. I have a brief lunch and then get myself up for a brief training session. I get myself into my kit and head for the garage. Strapped into the rower I set off on a half hour row at my normal work level. The session go well enough, burning 400+ calories and going over 6000 metres.

Post row its all action. A shower and fresh clothes before I drive myself and my eldest daughter into town to see Stuart Lee. Before the performance we go for an Italian meal and have time to chat. The meal is excellent and sets me up for the performance. My eldest daughter and I indulge in a pre performance bag of Maltesers while we wait to go in.

Stuart Lee was just extremely funny, his humour is just very clever and layered. Both sessions of his show were excellent, punctuated by a tub of ice cream. After the show we met an old friend and her husband and briefly chatted as we headed for the car. Back home I draft the blog, take my night meds and go to bed knowing that tomorrow is another dentist day, and I know it won’t be the last.
