Saturday and as usual there is an early cup of coffee and discussion of what to do during the day. Of course breakfast follows along with filling my pill boxes, and then my partner and I drive into town to pick up her new glasses and to get cash from the ATM at my bank. Where we are going next week its a cash economy. We indulge in a stop in Costa, for me almond croissant and hot chocolate with cream. I think I might be blowing my weigh in tomorrow. We drive home and I put the washing I put in before going out into the tumble drier and get ready to go to the gym.

On route to the gym I stop off at the garden centre and stock up on peanuts and squirrel food for Squishy and Squashy. Having secured their food for the next month I stop off at the garage and ready the car for its drive on Monday, full tank and checked tyres. Then to the gym for an hour on a cross trainer. 701 calories burnt and 7.78 kilometres. Showered and spent I drive home to empty the tumble dryer and fold my clothes away. Then follows the England rugby match in which Australia were seen off and the Indian take away arrived. The family watch a film for the rest of the evening, before I set about writing the blog. Today has been one of chores in preparation for the coming week. Tomorrow will be packing for the week ahead trying to ensure that everything is attended to, nothing missed, no detail overlooked, no essential left behind, and of course the LFTs to be done. The fun never stops.
