Thursday and I wake late to a decaf coffee and a phone call from a friend. An excellent way to start the day. We chat for quite a while as my friend makes her way to the the first chores on her to do list of the day. We are both battling in our own ways. Conversation over I get up, check my vitals, have breakfast and then wonder what to do, so I return to reading Chalmers book on The Conscious Mind. For anyone that has read it, I need a conversation about Zombies, yep zombies, apparently they are an important philosophical concept in the argument about the nature of consciousness. My reading is only interrupted by the post , which is renewal notice for mail redirection. I complete the renewal and return to the book and its zombies.

At lunchtime I go out and do business with my solicitor and then return home. I quick trip to the village shop and the café and its time to go home and relax. I sit in the garden chatting to my partner and then get on with nothing in particular. The garden guy arrives and we have a strategic chat about the autumn offensive on the garden. Part of the garden is going to be remodelled and some trees removed. I return to reading my book, this slides into the evening and world athletics, films and drafting the blog. By midnight my spoons are spent and I go to bed, with a sense of well being and a sense that I am getting over the side effects of my Monday injection at last. I’m looking forward to a good day tomorrow.
