Thursday and I wake up with about eight minutes before my morning work meeting. I grab a coffee and meds and log in. The morning meeting goes well if a little routine. I sort out the work admin from the meeting and then I am packing my bag for the gym. Mid morning gym is quiet on the gym floor the swimming pool is full of what can only be described as tonnage striving to be less. I get a cross trainer and start out very slowly not knowing how long I was going to last. In the end I surprise myself and my I suspect my body. I shed 711 calories and go 7. 41 kilometres. I am knackered by the effort and meander to the showers.
I indulge in a long hot shower and then sit for a while in the changing room. I then monopolise one of the hair dryers as I tend to my flowing white locks which are now, it has to be said is, long. As it dries out it becomes very “fly away” and more noticed by my fellow semi nude changing rooms chums. It seems an old white bloke with long white hair is quite a rarity in the world of David Lloyd gyms. It seems I am characterised as someone out of Harry Potter. I hit the lounge and settle down to a large coffee with two egg and bacon rolls, one for breakfast and one for lunch. Then its the drive home.
Once home its time to hang the towel out and put my washing on before going to the bedroom for a half hour nap. Alexa is very useful in this respect as I just ask to be woken up in 30 minutes and it does. I of course over nap but I am roused by the arrival of some pictures from a friend who had been fixing doors to a storage unit. I clear the kitchen and then the guy who tidies the garden arrived. I make him tea and go to chat to him for a while. Tea time arrives and I eat tea with my partner before she goes off to her on line singing lesson. I take the opportunity to start drafting the blog, before the rest of the evening drift before me. I need to attend to my brain feeding in the evening, thankfully Bridgeton is coming to an end. My sister rings and tells me the glaziers arrived and mended her window as arranged. It is a relieve to know that things have worked out and gone to plan.
