… since I don’t know when when whe I haven’t taken a single photo.
And that’s because during the day I never had the time, and during the evening’s walk it was pouring down with rain.
But anyway – despite the alarm set at 08:00 this morning, I was up and about well before it went off. And that was easy because when people decide to have a party right underneath your bedroom window at 07:30 it’s pretty much impossible to continue to sleep.
Ohhhh! For the old days when you had a slop bucket by the side of the bed!
No medication this morning because there wasn’t the time. Instead I had breakfast, gathered up my things and went downstairs by the barrier for my guests.
Yesterday they were early and I wasn’t ready. But today, because I was ready early, they were late. We went into town where we all assembled and then set up our little studio.
That took up most of the morning and then after lunch we set about our various tasks.
For a change, I’m going to say nothing about what went on during the course of the afternoon except for this – viz I will quite happily work with professionals any day of the week. I will quite happily work with amateurs who know their limitations and muddle along as best as they can and somehow manage to get the job done in one fashion or other despite their own limitations (in which class I place myself, by the way). But I will NEVER AGAIN work with amateurs who think themselves as professionals.
What counts in organisations like this is TEAMWORK. We are all part of a team and there is not one person who is more important than anyone else.
It was about 19:45 by the time that I made it back, and I made tea. Pizza, of course (it’s Sunday) and seeing as I’ve run out of apple pie now, it was a rice pudding in the oven for afters – and for the next few days too.
The evening run in the rain took me to over 100%. Two runs in fact. And although one was on a totally different course than previously, both runs were well over the distance that I normally run. I know that it’s too early – and in any case it’s always tempting fate – to crow about things bu that period in January when I wasn’t feeling up to all that much was quite possibly due to some illness or other that I might have had, and that this is much more like my normal self these days.
But tonight I’m going to celebrate by having an early night. And no alarm tomorrow either. having worked hard this weekend I’m going to allow myself the luxury of an unexpected lie-in.
That is – unless they decide to have another party underneath my bedroom window again tomorrow morning.
Where’s the slop bucket?
