DVT DAY 95

Five minutes to go to my first meeting of the day and I am still in bed. No point trying to rush as my body won’t put up with that this early. So I sedately make coffee switch on my machine and make my meeting with seconds to spare. Although there is no work to review that does not stop us comparing notes and feedback for a couple of hours. Once I am meeting free I make breakfast and realise how much we need a Sainsburys delivery. I do some work and before I know it’s time to hold my regular open forum for enabling environments. During this time various high viz clad people wander up the drive and leave packages in the porch including jigsaws and bamboo canes. Once the forum is over I make coffee and settle down to write up the forum notes. Time flies and I am soon watching the COVID daily propaganda programme. The death toll continues to grow, but more slowly and now we are all supposed to get excited about “Track and Trace”. Early days yet but it may get better. I update the Sainsburys order to include essentials like chocolate and stamps and settle down to a tuna past tea. Tonight my partner has her online singing lesson so I shall read, watch TV , write the blog and chat to a friend on the phone. Thursday is really my Friday so I will hope to relax and return to my painting, poems and reading. To sum up today has been a couch potato day of work, although I did manage to bake a loaf in there somewhere.

Occasionally I come across something that makes me think “wow wish I’d done that”. Recently I was part of a forum where a person from the BAME community raised issues about rights in therapeutic communities in prisons, I subject close to my heart. I subsequently saw this posted on LinkedIn and wished I had thought of this question to ask my colleagues.
