As if by way of a reprimand for my rather self-congratulatory post yesterday, today has featured a succession of demands on my time and attention which I have not been able to ignore.
Because of the late delivery of the skip to take away the remains of our old conservatory, I had to put in time this morning tidying the site ready for the workmen to re-engage with the task tomorrow. Then I put in my stint visiting the supermarket, to buy food for the charitable support of poor families, organised by our local church. Our neighbour, who is doing some repairs on his property, but who can only do it by working from our garden, needed to have a conversation with me about the job. My wife and I agreed that the lawn needed to be mowed before the rain forecast over the next few days. It was my turn to make the dinner. ….. Oh, yes, I have to confess I did spend some time watching the climbing from the Olympic Games.
I did get in an hour of painting.
