Friday and I seem to have slept well and my vitals are good. I check my messages before my partner brings me a hot a water and then I get up and get into my training gear and go down stairs. Unusually the postman has been and there is a letter from the cardiac consultant with the out come of my stay in hospital and the tests. It appears that everything is tickety boo and I am discharged from the cardiac services. See below.
With this piece of confirmed good news I head for the garage and set myself up for an hours row. I pop in my earbuds and put Mark Steel on and get on with my row. I am trying to keep a steady pace through out but as I get to the end I put a bit more effort in and I am rewarded with a best yet since having Uluru removed.
I record my session, down a Red Bull with a sandwich and start to draft the blog while the window cleaner gives me funny looks as he goes about his business. So I go into the afternoon with a shower and a spring in my step. I sort some life admin and eventually prepare a snack to se me through to the evening. The return of my partner from her pamper day coincides with the arrival of the garden guy who sets about giving the bay tree a final end of year trim.
The choice of evening meal is an Indian take away. Although the delivery time is always about an hour but without fail the food arrives very quickly as the restaurant is in the village. I dine and settle down to get comfortable for this evenings rugby match and an episode of Have I Got News For You later on. While I wait for the rugby to kick off I update the blog draft. Today has in general been a good day so I am hoping for a good nights sleep as tomorrow it is the face to face meeting of the Poetry Stanza. It will have been quite a while since I have meet the group in the fresh and I am looking forward to the experience. Not just meeting them but making the effort to drive to the venue and to be out and about. Depending on my decision on route I might get to drive past one of prisons that I worked in, which always prompts memories.
