Tuesday and I wake late as does the rest of the household. After a slow rise we all eat breakfast and drink coffee. I get some of my Christmas gifts together and head for the Shed. I rearrange my desk top and take a photo of it before settling down to write a letter or two, which I post later.
I watch the squirrels and as I do so I notice that that the garden is coming back to life. Those bright green spears have started to poke through the soil and announce the arrival of a new growing year. Spring is here and it looks set to gallop at pace. It always gives me pleasure and a sense of renewal. It will soon be time to get back into the garden and give nature a hand.
I return inside and then set about replacing the battery in one of my partners watches. All goes well. Old battery out, new battery in and then the back will not click back on. No matter what I try it refuses to go back in place. So I have popped it into the freeze to chill it a bit and hopefully shrink it enough to click back on to the watch. Whilst I wait for freezing to take its toll I settle down with a coffee and Panettone and join in the family jigsaw activity. Its a fiendish 1000 piece one with a lot of detail so there is much head scratching and deliberation over a prolong period of time.
Dinner of home made pizza follows. Tonight there will be football, reading and drugs. If I am lucky I will be able to get the back to go back on the watch. I am feeling that I am having trouble focussing at the moment and I am not sure if it is the medication or just holiday lethargy. Go again tomorrow.
