Friday and I over sleep till 10:30. It appears I am a confirmed night owl. I am at my best in the night and sleep best in the morning. I always feel I get the best sleep quality in the mornings. So I get up and find that the smoothies I ordered yesterday are already sitting in the porch. I unpack them and decide to try an Orange Energiser for breakfast. I had assumed that the main ingredient would be orange and I am a bit taken aback to realise how much carrot is in it. So I give it a go along with a black coffee. Its has a sting from the ginger and turmeric in it, not my favourite but it did not make me throw up. So I guess if I can keep it down its food.
I check emails and message colleagues and then head for the shed in my training gear. I settle down to write letters and spend a pleasant time at my desk. I decide to post my letters now rather than wait till after I have trained. So I strap on the trainers and jog to the post box and back. Yep you read that right, I jogged to the post box and back. I figured it was the only way I could get away with wearing a bright red camouflage track suit in public. I also learnt that jogging wearing cycling shorts is not the most comfortable clothes to wear jogging. Back to the shed and a training session on the bike. It went okay.

Back in the house I start to clear the kitchen when my sister rings and we chat for a while about coping with COVID and having our jabs. Immediately after a friend rings me and we talk about work and holidays and the opportunities to get time to rest and recover from work demands. We talk about how not being drawn into commercial situations of making things for money and setting up a trading network is much more worthwhile and meaningful. After my calls I cook a pie for tea and while it finishes in the oven I retreat to the sofa and TV for a while. I change for tea and tuck into pie.
Its another evening of Death in Paradise and then the blog. I am getting increasingly irritated with myself for not reading so I intend to find myself a reading time each day. I’m not sure how I am going to do this yet but I have thought about enlisting the help of technology in the form of Alexa, apparently it can do reminders and also read audio books to you. For the cost of an echo dot it is worth a try I think. That can be my weekend project along with watching the international rugby.
