danieldwilliamI think today is going to be a quiet day.
Today was my first visit to the gym in earnest since breaking for my holiday. It wasn't that I wasn't physically active whist on holiday. There were walks (strolls), some boating, lugging of luggage etc but I certainly wasn't deadlifting 100 kgs or doing shuttle runs. I slept badly last night and I have a touch of indigestion so I wasn't champing at the bit to get going but I perservered. My PT has moved her base to a new gym. It's smaller, a bit scruffier and very slightly less convenient than the previous location. I have to take a bus there in the morning and the bus to work now involves two or three changes rather than the direct service. My PT is still working out how the new set up works. As am I. There is outside space to exercise in which is nice in the heat. It will be fine. Of more importance is that the gym we're now in pays rent to the Captain's rugby club.
I have been rehearsing for Skirt. That's going well. We did a full run through on Wednesday - the first one off-book. A bit slow as people are still a bit hesitant about cues. We're running through again on Sunday - that will be better. We've sold about 100 tickets so far. This is out of a possible 480-500 tickets. So that's looking pretty good. The Director is away this week so the AD has been filling in - he's been superb.
The weekend looks busy. Catching up with Andy after work, then with Dad. Saturday I'm in London for the day. Sunday, MLW and the Captain return, I have a rehearsal, dinner with Dad.
We have an outbreak of black mould in the bathroom. Before our holiday MLW was scrubbing away at it with bleach. Since I've gotten back I've had a go at it too and used vinegar in addition to a chlorine based anti-mould spray. I may have ruined a set of towels with some negligent bleach spraying. I've also left the dehumidfier on overnight in the bathroom in an attempt to dry the place out a bit. Any tips and hints gratefully received.
My garden needs some flowering hardy perenials. Perhaps as many as two dozen. Or more. I spent a bit of time dead-heading the roses last night and noticed the lack of flowers. It should be structurally set up for an under storey of flowering perenials. In good garden news, one of the fuschias which I thought was dead might not be and the badly frost-bittin Mexican Orange Blossom continues to recover.
