I’m sorry to say that motivation hasn’t returned as yet. The end of the day is looming, and achievements are pathetically thin on the ground.
I drove to the outskirts of Norwich this morning (narrowly missing the rush hour) to leave my car at Autowerke for servicing and a whole host of other minor tasks. My wife picks me up from the garage and I drop her off at her workshop in Hevingham so that I can borrow her car for the day. Hardly an hour has gone by before I receive a phone call from the garage – never a good sign! The mechanic has found a major leak on the gearbox that requires urgent attention, the exhaust has a hole in it and there is quite a lot of brake pipe that needs to be replaced (otherwise it will fail its MOT test). Basically I’m being warned to expect a big bill! What can you do? The work has to be done, or the car is useless…
I take the dog for her morning walk (one of my achievements) and then listen to PopMaster (not an achievement, but an essential part of my daily routine).
I empty the dishwasher and tidy the kitchen (a bit, but it’s really not that untidy, to be honest).
I have a think about a subject for this week’s vlog, but I’m still undecided.
I read The Metro online to catch up with the news.
I take the dog for her afternoon walk (another achievement) and then sit and wait for my wife to phone to let me know she’s ready for me to go and pick her up from work. We return to Southrepps via Lidl in North Walsham to do some grocery shopping.
When we get home, I prepare our evening meal (more leftover chilli con carne) and pop open a bottle of beer to enjoy with another episode of Dexter on Netflix.
