Friday and I am awake early again. I have time to do my vitals and check my messages and socials. Then I am up and into my training gear. After a brief breakfast I find that my dosettes are empty so I go through my dosette filling ritual for the next two weeks. I make a note that in two weeks time I shall have to buy my own vitamin D. With that important chore done I move on to updating my blood pressure data base, which takes a while as I load up the data. Thankfully my average blood pressure over the latest cycle is stable, regular and well within normal range, so I am quite chuffed. So far so good.
Next up is the finishing off of the cold frame by putting some seed trays in the cold frame and fill them with compost ready for my partner to sow them with Cosmos seeds. This goes well but the inner liner needs re-pining, so I find a long ago remembered box of ladybird drawing pins and re-fix the liner. Only now do I have the time to clear the kitchen and think about training. However the post arrives and in it is the De Montfort Hall programme for the rest of the year and I notice that Tim Minchin is playing a night. In excitement I dash to the website only to find it is already sold out. However I notice that La Traviata is playing so I eagerly book tickets adn a parking place. I guess one out of two is not bad. Now I am free to go and train.
I head to the garage and strap myself onto the rower and just as I am about to start my session my phone rings and I find it is my doctors surgery ringing me to find out how I am on my blood thinner. I do a quick checklist and provide the information I am asked for adn then I am left to my session. Slightly irked by the interruption I start my session at pace and carry one as long as I can. It turns out that by thirty minutes I have rowed a personal best. Well “Go me” is all I can say to that.
With a sense of achievement I retreat to the sofa and record my session before starting to draft the blog. My day from here is predictable as my partner and I are going for a meal with friends so I shall be showering and dressing up in adult clothes.
