Thursday and its a morning of work meetings. The the post arrived and in it was a jewel of a T shirt that a friend had sent me as an early Christmas present. It is very Van Gogh starry night and I love it at first site. With a light lunch done I go to the gym and spend an hour on a cross trainer. I use the forest trail application and traverse some Californian trails. Its a hard flog but worth it. I get out of the showers hoping for a coffee but the clubs bar and restaurant is closed due to lack of staff, this really is piss poor. I go home for my drink and a tune pasta tea before going to a Collabro concert at De Montfort Hall. It would not be my first choice of music, but they make a sound I cannot and they are clearly popular judging by the fans at the front stalls and the amount of tea towels that go sold in the intermission. Here are a couple of brief tastes:
The drive home took a while as Leicester were playing at home and turned out at the same time, but we eventually made it home.
Friday and I slept in till 10:30, I have a lazy morning reading more of The Cat Who Saved Books. The more I read this book the more I like it. Any one who likes books will be made to think by this book. I take some shed time to write some thoughts and record them. I have a lunch time walk with the family to collect my drugs for next week and to visit the village cafe for a hot chocolate and rolls. Once home I put a chicken one pot into the oven before heading to the garage and a hard 30 minute row at a high level; the result, a new personal best. It would appear dead man rowing is getting fitter.
By the time I am recovered from the row its time to eat and get ready to go to Leicester Tigers. This is the first evening match of the season at home and its the first time I dig out my thermals and knitted hat. We drive into town and walk to the ground and take our seats.
The game sees the Tigers win convincingly and the crowd is happy and entertained with fireworks and bhangra drummers and dancers. Home and too tired to write the blog, its been a busy time.
Saturday can be summed up as, mostly international rugby, a little reading, a good letter from a friend and an Indian take away. The only thing of note is that I resurrected my glass tea pot and brewed a pot of very berry brew as a change from coffee. I also introduced flax seeds in to my diet. In theory they are supposed to help stay healthy. My partner has been eating them for weeks and says that since starting her hot flushes have markedly decreased. I catch up with the blog. So its been an active time, mostly, but tomorrow starts my 28 day jab routine with me starting to take prophylactic paracetamol, the uncomfortable start of my 28 day cycle. It is also weigh in day and I am hoping that my efforts over the week pay dividends.
