It was an extraordinarily hectic day of being flat out from go to whoa, but also extremely productive and fulfilling as I was propelled by the thrill of the garden’s explosion of color through flowers.
I started the day with a ride, dealt with some of the village’s board responsibilities (albeit lamely), wrote a blog post and attended an online meeting. Then work started.
I was incredibly busy all day, punctuating time behind the keyboard by loading up my Brompton in a backpack and taking it for repairs to Y’s Road Fuchu Tamagawa; a roundtrip journey of about 13 km that needed to be made in about 40 minutes and include a dropoff explaining repair requirements so I could return in time for a meeting. I did it!
Once work was over, I had to drop in to the dermatologist to have my infected finger checked, then pay for our bread deliveries, which I did while being reunited with the friendly woman who had always served me when I made weekly payments for about a decade up until covid, but barely met since then. We had a great gasbag at a time I really couldn’t afford to do it. I left my card at the dermatologist, got on my Big Red and hurtled down the road to Y’s to collect the foldup bike, put it into a backpack and then cycle back to the skin doctor’s again. I arrived and was ushered in to disinfect my hand while carrying the backpack-bound bike, much to the amusement of the nurses.
It was then back home to eat dinner and finish chores. I had to update my work diary as I have a lot of ongoing projects and if I don’t jot them down, I will forget them. I finally finished that, and now I am writing a post I intended to do in the morning after I processed flower photos, but never got them loaded. It was a pretty busy day, and I am glad I got through it. The mechanic’s prognosis of the Brommie’s future wasn’t great. He said it had clearly served me well, but keeping it going was going to be so costly it would probably be more economical to buy a new one. I kinda know what it feels like…
