Gradually getting back into the swing of things…
…lots of cooking, quite a bit of golf and even some gardening.

- Physio went well. Still getting stronger week on week. Improving form when lifting weights raises confidence and makes pulled muscles less likely in the gym and everyday life.
- New car has proved easy to drive, tardis-like in its carrying capacity and simple to charge overnight (on cheaper electriciy tariff).
- Lined the boot to protect it from the golf equipment.
- Bought a basket for the rear footwell to add another storage option.
- Didn’t get booked for pairs golf midweek, so played a social round at Hartfield finishing 4 under my par (which is awesome for the first time around a course).
- Practice on day between rounds was good: chipping, pitching and putting.
- Played pretty well in the end of week competition. Very well for 9 (although started slow) and not so well for 9 (with two slumps and a rally between).
- Focused on committing to the shot, clubface to ball (just need to keep that focus and energy for 18 holes, because two slumps is too many).
- Actually did some gardening:
- Weeded the front bed in preparation for new tubestock shrub/tree donated by a friend.
- Deadheaded the roses for a final flourish.
- Repotted the Echinopsis oxygona dividing it into two pots in the process. It had begun to look awful (turned out to be because it had been under, and then very over, watered).
- Did a tiny bit of tidying in the living room… but didn’t venture into my room except to deal with one old notebook.
- Last week mentioned the plan to get started on more tidying and/or fixing things with the help of David Cain’s free Fix One Thing short course (linked from here), but as usual found myself getting on with things just because I had that plan in mind (and the short course still hasn’t begun yet)!
- Bird of the week: noisy raven who won’t stop shouting about how our tree is their tree.
