PHASE II AS GOOD AS IT GETS DAY 113

PHASE II A.G.A.I.G DAY 113

Tuesday and its June, it is also sunny. The road outside is still sporting temporary traffic lights and the garden continues to grow. My partner goes off to a physio appointment and I do breakfast and sit on the patio listening to the birds. My partner returns and we do coffee and chat after which I get on with the gardening. I work at it for hours and occasionally stop to take a picture of something that catches my eye. Every where nature pushes through to promise a summer of flowers.

Soon to be a poppy

I do not stop for lunch and keep on going, moving on to weeding out the pots and reclaiming the raised beds. By the time my partner returns from seeing her brother I am tired and happy to share coffee and cake before getting ready to train. Today is a rowing day, so I decide to go for the full hour as the weather is warm for a change. The garage is at an unheard of 20C.

A post row shower and then pizza and yogurt tea before watching the Professional Bake Off. More towers of chocolate, sugar, spray booths and macaroons. There were the usual moments of admiration but also the entertainment of seeing confectionery unable to defy gravity and tumble to the floor. Then it was head for the laptop to write the blog. It feels a strange half term time but the real world continues on. Tomorrow my partner has her second vaccination and a new TV is being delivered. A slight increase in size in the hope that it will be possible to actually see the puck skim across the ice in the ice hockey matches I’m watching. Of course the European championships are soon followed by the Olympics and Wimbledon. I also have a Zoom meeting tomorrow with two people I do not know who I am doing a webinar with in July. It seemed like a good idea at the time but now I am not sure. I think I know what I want to do in my slot but not certain yet, hopefully tomorrow will help with this. Its more the rummaging around in the technology to make it happen that I find a challenge.
