Wednesday and day two of the BGSPD conference, so I am up early. I get a coffee and finish reading Shuggie Bain on the patio. Here is a spoiler, it is as unremittingly depressing at the end as it is at the start and all the way through. I then ring the GP surgery to book my Monday injection. I get myself breakfast, chat to a friend on the phone and settle down in front of the laptop. My day proceeds as I listen to one presentation after another.
At midday I break off for lunch and spend it in the shed on the bike to get my training in for the day. Its bloody hot and I am anxious to get back to the conference on time so I limit myself to 50 minutes.

The afternoon is all conference but I get distracted to the extent that I end up being the proud owner of a Gatsby check pair of Oxford Bags with a matching double breasted waist coat. Really neat but such an indulgence, but then I need a lift. My new button braces arrive. I’m all wardrobed up and need somewhere to go. The conference comes to an end at 5 o’clock and Wales kick off against Turkey, who they finally over come two nil. Evening progresses with tea prepared by my partner and then there is more football but I abandon it to sort out my fleece storage and to re- organise my trouser storage. I return to the football but abandon it again to watch the Great British Seeing Bee as I write the blog. I will not spill the outcome. Tomorrow I am back to the world of work and the last session of the Open Forum that I’ve been hosting with the team. It marks the end of a phase. We had hoped that it would coincide with the final easing of COVID restrictions but it is not to be. So tomorrow we will say our farewells and move on.
