Tuesday and the excitement of the Bank Holiday weekend is over, it means I have to get back to training and being active, however apart from training my days “to do” list look more “adminy” than active. So after making my partner a cup of tea in bed and doing my vitals, reasonably good, I get up, take my morning meds and head for the garage and the rowing machine. There can be no compromise today it has to be an hours row, so I set the session up and get underway with my ear buds in and radio two playing. Its a very tough session indeed, my body really does not want to do this with the result that the final outcome is not up to par but will have to do for the day.

I record the session and make myself breakfast and notice my partner has got the incinerator out in the garden and is burning documents. No complaints from the neighbors today. I join her in the garden and we walk around it looking at what has come up and what work needs to be done, I explain my plans for the new shed. I’ve already researched racking and floor covering for it. After a quick lunch I move onto the main challenge of the day, mending my laptop. Its taking me hours, I’ve run tests on the hard drive and the memory and they are all tickerty boo, so it has to be the BIOS system and when I get the dreaded error code that tells me my system is corrupted at the point of loading I know I am in trouble.

I finally get to the point where I have to reinstall Windows from a software USB stick. Its going to take ages to do this as it has to create a file called “Old Windows”, so things could still go wrong. My guess is that this is going to take hours so I start to draft todays blog and plan a shower and other activities while the small note book grids its way to instillation. There is no guarantee that this process will work, patience is the watch word.
