AS GOOD AS IT GETS PHASE DAY 174

DVT DAY 189

A.G.A.I.G. DAY 174

Sunday and the preparations for the re-piping goes on. So straight out of bed and sort out the back bedroom so that the crew can have access to the rear of the bathroom wall. A bit of a huff and a puff with some judicious piling up of stuff and the room is re-pipe ready. The perfect warm up for the regular Sunday weigh in. 95.4 Kilos, down from last week. It appears that I am losing about a kilo a month, so I may be down to 92 kilos by Christmas. If that’s the case I am back at base level and ready to get properly fit. So time to up the game and begin some strength and upper body work.

The rest of the house is almost ready just some last minute stuff to move. Time to head to the garden. Some of the hedging trees are now tall enough to tip out and begin to shape the hedge. I also reshaped the magnolia. Once that was all done I turned my attention to trying to put a low ornamental fence at the back of the garden. Seemed like a good a idea at the time. I cleared the ground line and marked it out but the panels and their spikes were not up to the job so I packed them away and will rethink the idea. I grumpily put the panels away and changed to do some time time on the exercise bike. It was a reasonable session. As I returned to the house I took some pictures of the flowers that are still bringing me pleasure relatively late in the year.

So now hot and sweaty I head for the shower and the feeling of refreshment. While tea is being prepared I start the blog and anticipate Strike at 9 o’clock this evening. What follows that will be the last preparations for the crew to turn up at 8:30 in the morning. My final act will be to ensure my 28 day injection is close to hand for the morning as I am due at the GP surgery at 8:30. I anticipate being sore for a few days as usual, more so because it is going i to the right side this month,which is always the sorer of the two.
