... is feeling relaxed and rested after a quiet weekend, and planning a few things for the week. I'd like to tweak the rhythm of my days, going back to doing exercise and any chores in the morning to leave the remainder of the day for whatever takes my fancy.
So, looking at this week I have a short list of must do tasks, which include ...
... contacting my GP surgery to arrange for a telephone consultation. I need some help with pain control and also want to discuss the recurring knee problem.
... speak to the roofer, who failed to turn up as promised. I think it's likely I will end up cancelling and finding someone else to do the work as he also let Julie down, so maybe isn't too reliable. Julie has found someone else for the work she wants done, so I will contact him instead.
... clear space in the garage for the items to be donated or disposed. The recycling yard has reopened but under the new arrangements the staff will not help you unload your car, which means I will have to wait until normal service is resumed as I won't be able to manage alone.
I'd also like to ring the changes with my choices for keeping myself amused. The days are starting to drag and a degree of boredom is creeping in so I will make the effort to do some different things. I have plenty to choose from but I think this week will include ...
... getting on with the crochet. I have everything I need so my only excuse is that I haven't been disciplined about doing this.
... resume some daily calligraphy practice. I've let this slip so will set aside 30 minutes or so every day to focus on this.
... take the car out for a drive. I still haven't decided where to go but the car needs a run out and I desperately need a change of scene. If the National Trust carpark has been reopened, a drive out to Avebury is a possibility as there is plenty of scope for social distancing there even if lots of other people have the same idea. If not, maybe a drive over to Bradford on Avon and a walk along the river.
The weather forecast is promising for the entire week so I'd like to spend as much time as possible sitting out on the patio to enjoy the sunshine.
Today's list of things to do:
- physical: knee strengthening exercises
- in the fresh air: spend the afternoon sitting out on the patio
- around the house: dusting and hoovering
- achievement: continue sorting through the files from my old laptop
- social: blogging, choir practice
- fun: calligraphy
