Spog the Pod

Wake at eight to another cloudy morning and breakfast on smoked salmon and cream cheese on whole meal toast and coffee. The nose clips and paper tape have worked pretty well and I have no symptoms of snoring, like a dry mouth or sore throat, but as I live alone I have no real, concrete evidence. After breakfast I wash, dress and drive to Cherry to take the dogs out, we follow our usual route round the Westwood and are entertained by lady folders in a variety of costumes and face paint, it's lady captains day again! After dropping the dogs off, pop to Morrisons to stock up on fruit and veg and a few other bits and then call in to see Felicity. She hasn't been well and is having problems with the new owners of the "Low Fields", bungalow behind her, according to Fliss they dug up her hollyhocks and other flowers she had planted in the access lane and were very aggressive and terribly rude to her. If this is true, it Is appalling behaviour, as she is a sick old woman living alone with her dogs and in quite a delicate state of health. The aggravation could kill her. On the other hand she has a talent for passive aggression, victim hood and politics, so I suspect there may be two sides to the story. The saga will rumble on for some time yet I suspect. Drive to the leisure centre for one and find a free lane once again, I feel a little jaded after yesterday's session but warm up to seen how I go and feel OK so repeat yesterday's 2400m medley session. Afterwards I have lunch in the cafe, the special is plaice goujons, chips and peas, and although it is quite similar to last night's fish fingers and chips, I order it anyway as I can't be bothered cooking. Whilst I am waiting for it to be served I am joined by the "Heart Attack Recovery Group", there are about 40 of them and they are making a presentation to one of the gym staff, Jen, who got married last week. I get a few funny looks when my lunch arrive, I suspect they think I am one of them and have fallen off the wagon! Receive a text from Sarah to say she has been notified that she has passed her podiatry degree and can start practising as soon as her insurance comes through. I arrange to take her to the Thai restaurant tomorrow to celebrate. Arrive back home for four o'clock, unpack the shopping and then meditate for an hour. Later make some Savoury Mince and put it in the slow cooker for tomorrow, and then read until bedtime.
