Tuesday and its hot again and the first day of July. The priority is to train in the morning before the heat becomes too much, so I am up and in my training kit before taking my morning meds and a quick breakfast of hot water and the last of a bag of liquorice all sorts. So I get into the garage and go for a 30 minute session. In this heat little and often is my strategy. Its a reasonable session and makes me put the effort in.

Of course I head for the shower only to find it keeps giving me a “low Pressure” warning and will not run and to add insult to injury it is asking to be cleaned. So I spend time cleaning the shower head but still I get a low pressure warning. I abandon the shower and head down stairs to the shower in the utility area. I finally get my shower but by the time I’ve done I have very little time before my dental appointment.

My dentist is lovely and very good. Today there is a work experience person sitting in so as my filling is being done there is a technical running commentary. All done without any anaesthetic, I am out in no time and gather up a news paper and treats before going home. I putter around and watch tennis into the evening, where there is a film to watch, Nonas, and a blog to draft. Eventually I take my night meds and head for bed knowing that tomorrow the tree folk will descend to cut our hedges back.
