Rest Day

I had a rest day from my exercise program today due to my injury from yesterday. Basil somehow managed to survive without his three daily walks. I did make sure to play "Where're the Sheep" lots with him. It's a game we play. I look at him and say 'where the sheep' he then races off to the back lot and runs up and down the fence line trying to heard the sheep in the next door block. He gets very excited about it all. He's even invented his own form of obstacle course to run while he's doing it, not all on the fence line with the sheep either, a great deal of criss crossing is involved, very intricate at the end of the run he charges into the main part of the backyard and props his front paws up on the wooden fence to peer over. When he comes barrelling past me at full tilt it sounds like a horse at a full gallop.

I had to go into Lonny again today to visit a client. I've set up remote access software on their system now, so I'll be able to help them allot quicker than the hours drive would normally allow. May well have picked up a new client in the form of the service station attendant I bought fuel from too. The new client called me on my mobile phone as I was paying for the petrol and the woman behind the counter asked a few questions resulting in my handing her a card.

Paula decided to come to town with me too. She wanted to look into getting a replacement vacuum cleaner as our old one has just about karcked it. While we where in Hardly Normal we decided to check out the sleep number beds. We've been meaning to look into them for a couple of years now and never got around to it till now. FANTASTIC is about all I can say. It turns out they're air mattresses, one bladder to a side individually adjustable with a mini compressor to control how hard or soft it is. Genius. The more advanced (and significantly more expensive) models also have all sorts of tilt controls and built in massage features. Very expensive bit of kit, but they are warranted for twenty years, meaning they'll probably last us a good deal longer than that. They may well be the last beds we need to buy, so well worth the investment... when we have the funds to invest.

We're trying a new diet plan this week. It's heaven. Roast Lamb with veggies and Rhubarb and custard for dessert tonight. I don't often get Rhubarb as Paula doesn't like it. One of my favourites from childhood, I have it every time I can.
