DVT DAY 312
Thursday and its a busy day of work meetings and an Open Forum to run before I can do my exercise session. So its a bacon breakfast with coffee and a check of my WhatsApp messages, which contain new pictures, before I settle down in front of my laptops to start a meeting. Its work, what can I say apart from its screen time. Good to talk to colleagues and to hear what others are doing but quite tricky to generate actual things, real life product. I have a short break during which I book another Tesco slot and do some shopping.
Out of the blue I get a telephone call from the hospital I am going to tomorrow. A lovely person asks me how I am and whether I’ve got any COVID symptoms. I assure her that I am COVID free and then she askes me if I have been out of the country in the last two weeks, we are both laughing before she gets to the end of the question. I assure her that I’ve only been as far as my front garden, which she assured me did not count as a different country.
Then its into hosting an open forum for managers in a criminal justice service. The experience is disturbing, they are having to deal with an extremely difficult situation in all their services. The strain and stress on them is obvious. At the end of the session I am left with a sense of not being able to provide enough support to make an impact.
I take a rest and check to see if the curtains that were out of stock have become available. To my great surprise they are now available and so I strike while the iron is hot. The order goes through and so the final piece of our redecorating the house has fallen into place. I change into my training gear and head for the garage to row for half an hour.

As I leave the garage I fix a new door handle on one of the connecting doors, an excuse to use my new cordless drill. A great success and the job is done in no time. I clear the kitchen, put away the 1000 Christmas jigsaw and put some flowers in a vase. Time to prepare for my hospital visit tomorrow, so I check my appointment letter and run off the hospital map so I know where I am going. I have in my head now where the nuclear medicine building is.
So I am ready now. Its time for tea and then a pre hospital bath while my partner has her singing lesson on line. Refreshed I watch Death in Paradise and start to write the blog. My biggest dilema is what to wear to be nuked in tomorrow.
