DVT DAY 209
Saturday and it starts with the usual lay in and negotiation for a bacon sandwich start to the day. Its raining hard and does not stop all day. Mid morning and I make my way to the shed to climb aboard the exercise bike. I spend over an hour grinding out the effort and get through the last phase with the help of Rammstein loud in my ears. Any thought of planting pansies in the pouring rain disappeared in the deluge. I was pleased to get back into the house and get a hot shower and settle down to read a letter from a friend in Scotland. The rest of my day was spent watching rugby and football in a splurge of self indulgence. During the various breaks in games I ordered a new heating element for the grill in our oven, which is no longer cooking bacon efficiently, so it is essential to get it back to full power. I put a loaf into bake and checked my mail deliveries had occurred. My other moment of indulgence was buying a shirt from my favourite Finnish football team, Honka! Who could not love a team called Honka. My favourite Finish derby match is when Honka play Haka. So my Finnish team is currently fourth in the Finnish premier league, now that’s a little known fact that you can use at your next dinner party. The last Honka v Haka derby ended up one each. My evening was full of Heroes, we have almost got to the end of the fourth series and then there will be a search for our next box set to binge. My last task of the day is to write the blog. Tomorrow is weigh in day and I am hoping for another decrease in my weight to move me from obese to overweight.
Of course all of this stuff goes on while in my head the pixies are working on why there is so much COVID polarization, cognitive dissonance, depersonalisation of people, irritability and trolling behaviour due to COVID. This, along with the mental writing of my conference contribution on IT and therapy based on the tension between a digitally based logic system being used by analogue beings,us,as a form of therapy, is keeping the pixies busy. The everyday always conceals the really interesting stuff.
