Wednesday, I wake in the spare bed after a decent nights sleep with no headache. I’m slow to get up and check my mail and messages on the way. Breakfast and then I am off to the Shed where I write letters all morning. At lunch time I take a break to load my partners car with plants for her mothers patio pots. I also snap a couple of photos of things in my garden, the poppy are out and the butterflies are visiting.

After lunch I return to the Shed to continue to write letters. Eventually I stop writing and pack up the Shed and return to the house. I take a quick trip to the post box to send my letters on their way. Then I spend some time practicing taking my blood pressure and SATs. Once I am through with that I clear the kitchen and then change into my training kit. Today it has to be an hour. I set the rower up and get under way. Again it is a tough start and by half time I am a minute behind schedule. I put in some effort and by the end of the hour I have caught up and made my standard of 12 kilometres. So another tough session but it is medicine and it has to be taken.

I record my session and change into easy wear and settle down for the evening. I am having a boys night out, I order Indian takeaway, pour a 0%beer and watch West Ham win a European football final. My final act of the day is to take my night meds and draft the blog. I’m off to my bed and will let tomorrow take care of itself.
