DVT DAY 55 (No Injections)

Today I get up and make coffee and tea to take back to bed. This of course is my opening gambit to get a bacon sandwich for breakfast. After a chat, the sandwich is agreed and I go and clear the kitchen ready. Bacon sandwich and coffee is taken watching one of the many Saturday morning cookery programmes. I’m intrigued by cornbread but cannot find the recipe on the BBC website. Eventually after a version of Gumbo I get going on the day.

I open the greenhouse up and give the newly emerging peas sticks to climb up and assess the water needs of the rest of the seedlings. I check out the pond and find that the water pump is not working and cannot fix it. There is another on the way, which hopefully will solve the problem. I play car jigsaw and eventually get the Wolf backed in to the garage so that I have a space to use. I sweep and hoover the garage space and then move the new weights bench from the shed to the garage. This is followed by several trips to bring the bar and weights int o the same space and to set them up. A couple of bench presses just to make sure the set-up is solid and I leave the garage to return tomorrow for a work out.

Time for lunch and a tidy up.  Egg noodles and parmesan. I empty the bins, dispose of the cardboard mountain and then pack up the two halves of the Le cruiser pie dish that fell in half the first time it was used and arrange for those nice people at Amazon to pick up the pieces and give me a refund. So, all is organised as I field a couple of e-mails form a colleague and talk about how I generated the materials. Amazon deliver my new pond solar fountain and like an impatient school boy I go out and fit it into the pond. There is not enough sun to make it work properly but it tries. The old one goes into  a bucket and will be played with tomorrow. A breathing space at last so I sort out my gym kit and prepare to exercise. In the spare bedroom I set up my smaller laptop and set my beginners ballet class going. So, there I am stretching and bending, watching my arm and learning how to take silver swan beginners steps in ballet.

I go to the sofa and recover and fairly soon I am eating tea and preparing for the evening of films and writing the blog. So, all in all a good day and at last I am moving a bit. Tomorrow I check the new pond pump and take things from there. Must keep moving now I have made a start.
