Friday

Good morning.  I'm awake very early this morning.  It might just be a coincidence that I forgot to take the magnesium tablet yesterday or it might be related - how can one tell - but I shall make darn sure I remember today.

There really wasn't much to do after I had finished the mowing at the allotment yesterday so I think I will give this morning's visit a miss.  I'll probably pop down later in the afternoon to do some watering.
However, after thinking that we were not going to get any plums again this year, I noticed that there are, in fact, quite a lot of titchy little babies.  They're just a bit hard to see, that's all.
That made me happy.

Apart from that, I stayed in and pottered.  My corner is now back to its normal, slightly cluttered state and this morning I will attack the dining table as it's become a bit of a dumping ground.  I need to tidy up for the cleaners anyway.

I have half an hour of personal training mid-morning.  Lindley is quite happy to do two half hours a week (online) rather than one whole hour, which is much kinder on my neck/shoulder which is still giving me problems.  If things were normal, I'd probably have talked to the GP about it by now but things aren't normal so I haven't!  :-)

Then, when the cleaners arrive, I'm off out to take some stuff round to Beth, wish Alex a Happy Birthday (from a distance) and stop off at the allotment on the way back to water everything.
Again, in normal times, we'd probably all be out for a Chinese buffet or similar today, that being a favourite for Alex.

This evening, it is the Lloyd Webber thing.  This week it's 'By Jeeves' which was initially a flop before being renamed and revamped.  It's supposed to be one of Sir Andrew's personal favourites and I'm looking forward to it anyway.

(Later edit:  ooops, I totally forgot about VE day stuff.  By Jeeves can wait until tomorrow)

Do have a good day, whatever your plans.  xx

  1. Happy Birthday to Alex.

    Can you arrange a telephone consultation with your doctor about your shoulder? It's worrying that it is still causing you problems.

    I'm looking forward to By Jeeves. I'll watch some of the daytime VE Day celebrations but feel the need for some theatre tonight!

    1. I have huge difficulties over the phone because of my hearing problems, unfortunately. I'd rather not deal with anything medical in that way. But thanks for the suggestion.

  2. There are going to be a lot of birthday celebration catch-ups needed after the lockdown aren't there ... which will be good for various eateries etc. We will be getting the nation back on it's feet with celebrations and shopping.

  3. Hope you draped your delicate plants at the allotment ready for the wintery blasts we're forecast this Sunday.

    1. There's nothing too vulnerable out yet, I think, but here's hoping it won't be too bad round here. It usually isn't.

  4. That's good news about the plums. Hope you enjoyed Andre Lloyd Webber's music.
