Just an ordinary day

So, what have I been up to today? Nothing very thrilling or earth-shattering...

This morning I had my usual coffee and Wordle in bed followed by a little read. When I got up I was sidetracked and did some pottery while still in pyjamas (!) then after a smoothie breakfast I went to the farmers market to get some fruit and eggs (not in my pjs). Their eggs are nice and fresh and very large.

I listened to Radio 4 while having lunch, a most interesting programme about Muriel Spark. Afterwards I had a follow-up doctor´s appointment about my back which was most frustrating. He saw me for all of about 3 minutes, did not ask anything about my back or progress at physiotherapy but just told me because I had had Covid I must not do any exercise until I have seen a heart specialist - this without asking about my heart or examining me in any way! Just imagine if everyone who has had Covid had to go running off to a cardiologist.

When I got home I was planning to do some pottery but a friend dropped by for a couple of hours needing to let off steam about family problems. After she left I made a halfhearted attempt at  some pottery but the idea I´m trying out did not really work so I went to lie down with my Kindle, my go-to solution for most things!

Now I am about to have dinner and watch some videos I follow on YouTube. They are about English couples who have moved to Portugal to live off-grid, something I would dearly love to have done if life hadn´t dictated otherwise. I´m too old to consider it now but can at least enjoy watching other people living that life.

And finally it will be bed with my faithful Kindle.
