Deadlifting

This week at work it’s Neurodiversity Celebration Week which I’m sure is a worthy cause but it will be another excuse for a lot of departments going awol this week. 

It’s a usual Monday night. L at yoga, me at cycling and in the Exeter working my way through their range of scotch eggs.

The cycling must have been tough because the morning walk was hard work and not just because of my errant dog. My legs weren’t working very well. L meanwhile is at PT and bragging about deadlifting 50kg. She’s catching me up. Although I only lift 60kg and that’s not deadlifting just squats.

By Wednesday it's raining yet again and we trudge through the ever increasing mud on the morning walk. The Lad did at least miss out on an altercation with his nemesis who was hiding behind a parked car across the road from the entrance to the park.

L does the gym first thing but I do the gym at lunchtime once it’s got time to get busy. Very busy as it turns out and I got on very little of what I really wanted to go on.

In the evening I meet my old pal from school. We drink in the Alexandra and then eat in Peppitos.

L spends both Thursday and Friday in Derby. First with her friend and then with her Mum. She still fits in a swim, a 5k with Daughter and a yoga workout upstairs with the Lad. This gets me out of the gym and I cook a curry instead.

We parkrun this week at Tamworth Castle where we also manage to get a bacon and egg sandwich and a coffee. Then I get to go to the New Inn with my Dad for lunch as well. Then it’s back to his to catch the match on the radio before going to the Plough in the evening with L.

On Sunday we go to see Nick Wallis, he of the Post Office Scandal, on stage at the Garrick Theatre in Lichfield. He is joined by one of the sub-postmasters Harjinder Butoy from Chesterfield. It is an excellent and fascinating evening.
