I was really in the zone on Friday afternoon, but I also couldn’t wait to get out of the office… my nose had been running like a tap for a couple of hours and there’s only so many times that you can escape to the toilets for a good blow! YUK! for me and for everyone else… sorry guys!
My cold progressed yesterday, but that was okay as I had a tonne of work to do, fortunately in the privacy of my own office!
This morning I was really in two minds as to whether to run at all. Fortunately if was a lovely morning so I went out for a short run to a least stay (coughing) fit.
I ran down to the common and up to the top end of St Georges Retreat, before going the other way along my normal route and back down across the common.
The route was 5km, a shade over three miles in 30 minutes.
After breakfast and a shower, I got back out into the fresh air to pull weeds from the Japanese garden and noticed that one of the bamboo clumps had expanded enough to push the retaining sleeper over by more than an inch.
I set to with a spade and a carving knife to remove the clump entirely, then cut it into four smaller clumps. Three went into pots and I placed the remaining one back into the ground, where it looks as though nothing much has changed!
Hopefully the fresh air and exercise will have done me some good… I’d like to be rid of this cold by tomorrow, in an ideal world!
