31st Dec Th.Up and busy about 5:30AM. Helped Vad with her pills. Watered pot plants, water for birds and brought in the newspaper
Did the crossword and had my blue cheese on toast with coffee while I watched the Chinese and Russian news.
I did some weights with the 12Kg dumbbells then I did one hand rows with a 22Kg dumbbell. Felt a bit syncopal  after that. Will have to watch this.
Today should be a quiet day which is just as well as 38C is forecast.
Still I got the big shears out and attacked the overgrow stuff by the house. Branches fall on my head and insects get in my eyes.
I'll leave the rest for later. There is so much of it may well have to find out how to rent a skip.
Lots and lots of blackbirds in mobs going at the bread and stuff out the back. I looked them up. An unfortunate Latin name.
Happy was I to have my usual nap about 11PM.
Lunch was pumpkin soup for Vad and a meat pie for me. We should drink more fluids I guess.
Instead I just idle in the cool.
Later- Phew it is 34C in this room as I type.
Snooze, snooze. Sweat, sweat.
I had a microwave meal for dinner - well had to eat something. Vad had tinned fruit.
And I weigh 93.1Kg.
A bit of a cool change came later so we watch a bit of TV.
No fireworks round here. Wouldn't expect them (very dry grass) . But there were none last year or the year before.
