I did some shopping on the way to the gym. Musicians.

I am off work for a week. I plan to relax and also get some jobs done around the house.

Monday 13th
After my week away from the gym I didn't seem to have much energy.

While the Italian (Monza) grand prix taped I did some gardening. Grass was too wet to cut, so I reduced a small tree to a stump. Once the gree house is removed I plan to dig up the stump.
Later in the afternoon my parents visited. My Mum collected a large bag of cooking apples from the apple tree in my garden.

Instead of going straight to work, I took the "scenic" route. I had promised to drop some PA documentation off and the person was going to London later in the day.

One of my aunts if flying across the pond to visit relations. On her travels she will be visiting my youngest brother.
Thursday 2nd
While I was having a walk at lunchtime I saw "Walk the Plank" make a dramatic entry to the Canning Dock. They came in crooked and scaped along the dock entrance. Not the ideal way to arrive at port, especially if you like the paintwork on the side of your ship.
