Thursday and I wake up with my internal organs trying to leave my body through my nostrils. Its an inconvenient state to be in so I down coffee and eat muesli. I take my usual meds and top them up with paracetamol. On the dot of 9 o’clock I’m in front of my laptop for a work team meeting and that is where I stay for the next two hours. Its a long two hours but like all hours it comes to an end. I spend time preparing the cameras that we are taking away for the weekend away. They have not been used in a while so they needed resetting and the power packs charging. It seems that we each have a large and a compact pocket camera each. To this I add some binoculars and fill a bag with our toy. Job done, I walk down to the chemists to pick up my prescription including my injection for Monday afternoon. I have moved the appointment to the afternoon to accommodate our return from the weekend away. I buy a paper and I then get drawn to the village café where I indulge in a bacon and sausage baguette. I return home for coffee and sit in the front garden soaking up the sun and looking at the signs of spring.

My partner and I eat lunch in the front garden enjoying the sun, we are joined by a butterfly who seems to be impelled to be part of our sitting.

Having dined we set off to fill the car, check the tyres and then shop for our weekend food. We wander the aisles with our list and of course add extras to it as we imagine our meals over the weekend. We do the checkout dance and drive of with our goodies. Once home we stow the food and prepare for the evening. We eat and then my partner does her singing lesson and I take more drugs and watch TV until its time to watch another episode of Last Kingdom and to draft the blog. I tire quickly and look forward to my bed.
