Thursday and a day to get going after Mondays injection and its aftermath. So I wake up and take my vitals which are good. I change immediately into my training gear but cook myself a breakfast and take my morning meds before I start on my to do list for the day. First up is removing the last remaining gutter hedgehog and ensuring the guttering on the garage side is cleared. When I get up to the level to get a look at the guttering it is as I thought, the gutter hedgehog has clogged the gutter and accumulated a lot of growth. On removing the hedgehog I find a damn has built up in the gutter. Fortunately I am able to dislodge the block and clear the gutter.
With the gutter cleared I set about mopping, scrubbing and clearing the patio. There is a lot of debris and soil from the guttering that has been washed down onto it. After a lot of effort I finally get the patio clean for the winter. Its lunch time so I stop for a bite to eat and to contact the gas fire people to arrange a service. I discover the company no longer do that work but give me the name of their old fitter and servicer, who I ring and chat with. With a date arranged its time to get myself into the garage and train.
Its six days since I’ve trained so I decide after my mornings exertions to go for a 45 minute session. Strap in and set off, its not a sparkling session but I get over 8K and that will do for today.
With the session recorded I set about updating the Christmas Tesco order to include all the food and things that my youngest grandson will require over Christmas when he visits. With that done I finally get out of my training kit and settle down to clear the kitchen and start to draft the blog. I am increasingly aware that Christmas is rapidly approaching and I have shopping to do and the tree is yet to go up with the new lights so tomorrow is going to be busy. I enter the evening with very little energy left. My limit will be watching football, TV and casting my eye over the internet for inspiration ending up with night meds and collapsing into bed knowing that tomorrow has to be a Christmas decoration day.
