PHASE II AS GOOD AS IT GETS DAY 78

PHSE II A.G.A.I.G DAY 78

So here we are back to the blog on Tuesday having got it up and running again this morning. After getting the IT together I have breakfast, move my car so my partner can go to the physiotherapist. I settle down to continue numbering poems. In the end I go for an old fashioned analog process of cutting them up and sorting them into lines according to date.

I plug away unstintingly until I get to the end. Having sorted them by date I then numbered them electronically in the digital file. Having done this I then merged two files and have finally got all my poems in date order in a single file. Now its time to edit them all and get them ready to publish and that’s the exciting part of embarking on self publishing. By the time I have had lunch and started the editing and formatting its time to train. I clamber into my training gear and go to the shed to bike for an hour.

I go for a bath and find no hot water, so while the system kicks in I run tests on the bath sealing as there appears to be a leak. I ascertain that the shower and bath are okay but the bath sealing is not. So I now have a project to strip out the bath calking and reseal it. I check videos on how to do it and order the things I need. I get a call from a friend as she goes to collect her daughter and we talk work and the balance of work and family. I finally get my bath and then tea before watching a European football match. I return to the web site to write the blog and I am relieved that it is still operating. In all this excitement I find myself reapplying for my driving license. I got the standard threatening letter from the DVLA noting my age and the fact that my license runs out in July. I reapply on the online website and decide I only want a car driving license if it means I can do it on line. If I wanted to retain the ability to drive trucks I would have to have done it on a paper version. Life is too short for that.
