DVT DAY 243

Friday and today it has been a day of ticking off the to do list, so after a cold breakfast I set about my chores , but not before taking a call from a friend. Having moved the cars off the drive I applied a moss killer to my rapidly greening drive. Whilst doing this I noted that the drain from the kitchen is blocked and checked my man hole and drain cover. Good news my main drain is clear but the kitchen run needs to be cleared so a quick trip to Amazon and the necessary will be here tomorrow. Now on a roll and I go through our emergency card box and select a belated birthday card for my grandson whose birthday I shamefully missed. So I loaded a card with cash and took to the post office to be sent and signed for. It seems the only way to ensure the Swedish postal system can deliver anything is to get it signed for. Back to the to do list and I find I have work emails to respond to, which of course take longer than I bargained for. A bite for lunch and then its time to think about training. Its tricky these days as I need to ensure I can get into the shed before it starts to get dark. I get in and do an hour on the bike. I am not satisfied with this and head for the garage gym to row for a while.

I get to the sofa to recover and have dinner. I am bored with TV so this evening I get out my jewellery making kit and sit carving, etching and sanding wax blocks into something resembling a ring. I have a long way to go before I get to something I would give as a gift but I’m not too picky not to wear my own crude stuff if I get it made up. My kit allows me to send stuff off to be cast in a range of metals so eventually I might be able to create suitable jewellery for my unsuspecting family and friends. A smidgen of Have I Got News For You on catch up TV and its time to write the blog. I am missing writing letters but at the moment I am focussing on the conference I am attending next week and particularly learning my notes for the debate I am going to be part of.
