Tuesday was all about travel home from York. I treated myself to a hotel breakfast and took my time preparing for the drive back to Leicester. I’ve learned not to rush my traveling, it is a far more healthy way to be. I drove back at a sedate pace and arrived back about two o’clock. My afternoon meandered and I was tired. I spent the evening watching football and finally went to bed.

Wednesday was a day that started with a lazy breakfast and moved on to a meeting with a group of peers, where we found a new way to keep the communications going between meetings and to become available to a wider membership including our international friends. It was a good and positive discussion and I think has moved us forward. A brief lunch and some admin work before I took myself to the shed and put an hour in on the exercise bike. It was a tough session but I lasted the hour and ended up quite pleased that I had made the effort.

I emerge from the Shed to find my partner’s friend has arrived. I go and change and sort out some food for myself as my partner and friend go off to a pie night at a local pub. I spend my evening lazing and watching more football being aware that I was tired and my body had no more to give me.

Thursday and I am up early for my 9 o’clock work meeting. There is time for breakfast and coffee before the regular team meeting. Its all about up dating and checking how we all are. The meeting ends on time and there is little time for post meeting chat. I set about writing a section for a training manual which is due to be discussed next week. I get it finished along with last months invoice in time for lunch. The postman then delivers a speeding summons. I am guilty so fill in the form and pop it in an envelope to be posted later.

My good citizen act done I am straight into a training session for the afternoon. The session lasts all afternoon and I watch people form my services get engaged or detach quickly. Its an interesting exercise. I will be going back tomorrow for the second half of it. Once the meeting is over I do some business with the team and then finally log off. I drive my eldest daughter to her circus skills session and wait the hour outside doing crosswords till she re-emerges. I drive back and cook myself tuna pasta and settle down to watch yet another football match and to catch up with the blog.
