I’m doing better but still not great. Concussion headache has gone but face is still very sore

I’m doing better but no Rutland Water parkrun tomorrow for me. How about you @nessawinters.bsky.social ?

Sushi and salad ramen was delicious but top tip if you have sore lips: definitely skip the wasabi!

I think the grazing, bruising and swelling reached its peak yesterday. Nose feels more blocked but firmly instructed not to blow it! Will do important work presentation then switch off until Monday. Hopefully tomorrow I can take fewer painkillers and it should be all uphill from here.

After talking to 111 this morning, I went to the Stamford Minor Injuries unit. Highly recommend but only open Mon-Fri office hours. Nose is not broken but they did call it mild concussion. I need to take things easier. So I’ve taken the day off. Can now use ibuprofen and enjoyed a lunchtime nap.

Still very sore today and the bruising is spreading to my eyes. I hope that this is the full extent of the bruising and it just changes colour from here on.

Doing better this morning but everything is sore. Optician appt later to sort the glasses out.

I don’t recommend tripping over a kerb and doing a superman slide face first. This is gonna be sore and ugly for a while. Thanks to everyone at Lincoln Orienteering Group who helped. Doc says I’m fine but gave me some things to look out for. Gonna need some new glasses and a new club top too

Additional water collection point now set up at Normanton car park, Rutland water

4am and I got water at Morrisons. There is plenty there but I'm sure it will get busy once people start waking up. After a 3-hour attempt last night, I'm grateful. And they gave me enough to keep stored for the next time too...

Stamford has no water. And no time for it to be fixed 😳. I have 500 litres of grey water but not much drinking water 🤔

One day of rain and I’m pumping 100l of water into the big tank. It astounds me how much water comes off my roof that I’ve been wasting. This was empty this morning. Gotta get more small butts and another big one next year.

Yes, mum, I’m going worry you all day until you take me to the vet. And then when we arrive I’ll perk up and everything is fine. Just cos I like to meet new and interesting people and make sure you spend £50 Thanks, Molly! 🙄😳💷

Indoor training today. 🌧️ stopped outdoor play. 5 mins on indoor bike followed by strength training. 💪

Here’s hoping for a quieter, more focused week. At least I’m not travelling this week.

Tomatoes are down. Last remaining ones have a week to ripen before they become chutney. Glad I still have a few winter crops in the greenhouse. Closing doors now as the temperatures drop. Will deal with the grow bags another day.

4 years ago today we lost our wonderful mum. We only got eighty-six, four-hundred seconds in a day To turn it all around or to throw it all away Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say Gotta live like we're dying, oh youtu.be/VsNAHiCcqno?...

Good Rutland Water parkrun this morning. Definitely improving but it’ll take guts to improve my PB of 33 and change.

No work today but plenty to do: blood test, food shop, cook. To name but a few

Just back from Colchester and delighted that my petrol research enabled me to fill up at £1.66. Unleaded not diesel obvs! Busy day after a busy week. Let the weekend begin!

Coach decided that today I needed sneaky, fast intervals. It’s always slightly worrying when he shows up ready to run and not with a bike!

Today is supposed to be warm but I hadn’t noticed. Now wearing 2 layers and thick socks whilst holding out to not switch on central heating until 1st October.

Lovely weekend. Feel like I’ve finally caught up with myself, which is good cos it’s gonna be a busy week. Cambridge tomorrow and Colchester on Thursday. Hope petrol can reach Colchester cos it’s much cheaper there.

Really happy with 35 mins. So blessed that this pace feels easy. Still a way to go to beat best time of 33 mins. But happy

Parkrun is gonna be a little fresh this morning

Onions and garlic are in with bodge it and see if it works bird protection cover!

Spring bulbs have arrived. Bit too early to plant them but hopefully onions and garlic will go in this weekend

Last working day of a busy week. And next week won’t be any quieter. Slightly low after coming back from the Lakes but am already planning the next trip for some point next year.

I’ve had an amazing, challenging and wonderful week off. Starting to think about work tomorrow. This week will be quieter than next week which will be really busy.
