DVT DAY 101

Breakfast, drugs and email check gets the day started. My first task is to get all the documents to complete my DBS forms for the RCP. Deciding which documents to use and which I could find took time but I eventually got to the on line form to complete. I ticked a lot of boxes that has probably signed my soul away but I need the certificate to the work. I pushed the button and off it went and almost immediately I got an e-mail to tell me it had been accepted and the RCP had been in formed to check my identity.

At this point my partner returned from the chemist and presented me with my months’ worth of drugs including Mondays monthly injection. While I am filling my weekly drugs wallet the roof felting that I ordered has been delivered. I am half thinking that if I get the chance, I will put the final patch on the tool shed roof. It’s time for lunch and my partner and daughter sit outside on the patio to eat, it’s nice and warm and my roof patching ambitions are looking good. Lunch done I sign into my afternoon open forum for an hour. Although not many of us there it was a productive hour. While under the headset chatting on the forum my new training bike is delivered and left ton the drive.

As soon as possible I get to work on assembling the bike but it soon becomes clear that getting it in to the shed and my ambitions to patch the tool shed roof are not going to happen as there is a thunderstorm of biblical proportions. So, I press on and complete the bike in the kitchen.

All I can do is stand and watch the torrential rain and how the gutters cannot cope and overflow. The street outside is showing signs of filling up with water and the cars are producing funfair size log flume sprays as they pass by. I note with relief and a smile that other people’s drain pipes and gutters are not coping with now tropical like deluge. In a moment of slightly less rain I close up the shed and check what is on TV tonight, Yippee it’s the Great British Sewing Bee.

We have dinner, watch an episode of The Last Kingdom” and then clear the kitchen in readiness for the GBSB.

TGBSB is a delight but I promised not to include any spoilers in the blog.
