I’m feeling the effects of all the activity yesterday, so it’s hardly surprising that I don’t achieve so much today – although I achieve significantly more than what has become the norm. My day starts much like yesterday did – without a great deal of motivation.
My morning is pure routine until PopMaster finishes at a shade before 10.45am. This is the time at which I start giving myself a hard time for not getting anything done. So, I pay my water bill online and decide to check my phone and broadband account, and find they have added a late payment charge because I was late in paying my bill last month. I’m a bit miffed about this because they didn’t actually send me a bill, and I was only aware that it was overdue because they sent me an email saying that my payment was overdue. I spend the next hour trying to get through to customer services through the most frustrating voice recognition automated phone line, which basically could not understand a word that I said! Eventually I get through to a human being and get the late payment charge removed before my blood pressure goes through the roof.
I receive a delivery of Calor gas, which should last us through until the summer is over, and then take the dog for her afternoon walk. I persuade myself to wander down to the allotment again (2 days in a row – woohoo!) and harvest some spinach (for our daily nutriblast). I cover over the newly planted spinach seeds to stop the birds from nicking it as soon as it sprouts, and water the broad bean plants, which are looking good.
I’m knackered when I get back home, and I have a long day tomorrow (I have an appointment with my neurologist at the NHNN), so I have a quick tidy up in the kitchen before my wife gets home, and then sit on the sofa to get my breath back.
