L isn’t having much luck of late with injuries and her latest one, her bag packing back injury, keeps her out of the gym on Monday, out of work (she was very pleased about that) and curtails any ideas I had of a passionate start to the week. I am uninjured thankfully as my cycling in the evening is with the Derny e.g. very fast.
L is much better by Tuesday and manages gym and swim, although she gets soaked by a rare rainstorm in between. She also runs Wednesday morning before hitting the gym and going into work for the next to last time. She comes back with Champagne and flowers. She officially finishes at the end of month.
Later I meet my old school friend in Five Lamps in Derby before we head to the Spice Lounge for a curry.
On Thursday, England beat Sweden in the worst penalty shootout ever. After their Women’s Euro 2025 Quarter Final finishes 2-2, nine penalties are missed as England scrape through the shootout 3-2.
On Saturday we Parkrun at Clifton. I then drop L in Derby before visiting my Dad and taking him to the New Inn for a pint. Having just back from Derby, L then heads back in later with me on the bus as we meet friends of ours in the Viceroy for a curry. We have a drink first in the Alex before we indulge in the restaurant’s now almost permanent £22 meal deal. The problem with the deal is that you are practically full after the poppadoms and a huge platter to start. The food was also very average. L rated the place last time we came, now she’s no longer sure.
We’re at Colwick on Sunday for the swim and Daughter joins us. The two girls get stickers for doing a Platform Bomb and Swimming in the Rain. I don’t get a sticker for my dog walking.
Later we are at Splendour on Wollaton Park. It’s not L’s thing but she gallantly manages about five hours before the threat of lightning disrupts everything for over an hour and L takes the chance to escape.
