Yet another beautiful morning and Friday is more than welcome. As it is the end of a long and demanding week, I am sort of in a wind down kind of mode. I want to train but not too hard as I think I deserve an easy day today. I entertained nine guests yesterday and I over ate so I do feel quite sluggish.

My trainer Mr White of course had other ideas and was so full of energy at 7.50 a.m it was a little irritating. Whilst I am  on the subject of irritation I  have an enormous insect bite which is spreading poison up my leg at a frightening rate. This my trainer tells me is the most feeble excuse he has ever heard for not training too hard !  He even ignores the commuters crossing the road to avoid the heat that is radiating from my leg as it rapidly becomes more and more inflamed.

So he worked me just as hard if not harder. He talked endlessly on how he was going to be really successful tomorrow at cricket. Worth the effort I should add at the end of a very long week and not really what I had in mind.
