Playing with Diana and settling for a more slimming porridge breakfast.

Another busy day at my home office clearing my desk after waking with a headache before playing with Diana and settling for a more slimming porridge breakfast. Working all day at my desk apart from stopping for lunch and to watch my favourite Antiques Roadshow on TV. A cold and dull day with gales and rain forecast soon

I awoke with a headache which I put down to too much close reading and computer screen work yesterday. At least I found Diana still in bed and so rolled over and played with her for a while, though my headache prevented me from enjoying it as much as her. A healthier Sunday breakfast than usual as I forwent my traditional fried meal to try harder to reduce my cholesterol level. In fact, I settled for porridge which was quite unusual for me!

The whole day working on a range of administrative tasks, this time just stopping for a fine Sunday lunch of roast beef and some football on the television before my favourite Antiques Roadshow. It is a sign of how fast time flies now that this programme comes round so often. By the end of another late evening, I had cleared all of my paperwork, got my filing up to date, and written off for all manner of information and prices for my season's boating plans. Also writing to my family and all else as I plan to keep the next fortnight free. I had cause to anticipate tomorrow's operation and cannot say I am looking forward to having a general anaesthetic and then the pain of the recovery, but it has to be done. The day cold and dull I think, but the gale forecasts signify that we should expect an acute change of weather with wind and rain to come.
