L is not quite her usual ray of sunshine self, although she says she never is, on Monday morning. It's possibly because she's due in work and what she expects to happen happens e.g. she's home again before lunchtime as there's no sign of her boss. At least she gets to do Sainsburys. Then its cycling for me with Vanilla Porter for afters.
On Tuesday she tries again and messages to tell me this time she’s been chained to her desk.
There’s a minor panic when L’s Mum rings 111 with a chest infection, who tell her to get to A&E for 9am. She even takes a taxi to get there which isn’t something she’d usually spend money. Then almost before L's had chance to decide whether to go over or not she messages to say she’s on the bus home. It’s bloody good this NHS you know.
In the evening, we continue with our training plan. We feed the Lad early and then run when he’s digested it. We do 8k.
Wednesday has L with another busy day. Book club then work and then Yoga. We’re dog training.
On Thursday I meet L in Derby after work, she’s already there after meeting her Mum, and we go to the first Derby CAMRA Beer Festival in four years. Having held a summer beer festival since 1978, the 40th one in 2017 was the last one. The city also had a winter beer festival which ran from 2002 to 2020.
This one at the Museum of Making at the Silk Mill is excellent. The venue is good with plenty of seating for us oldies, decent food and very good beer. Welcome back and long may it continue.
(Thursday 14th November)
