nonentities

Tuesday, 15th August.

Here then, is a typical day in the life of a nonentity.
Radio alarm set for 7 o'clock, get up at half past. Take a tablet before breakfast because
I have low levels of thyroid hormones and my metabolism is lower than normal which
leads to weight loss. After hand-washing some laundry (I have no washing-machine),
it's off to the supermarket to stock up with groceries. Back home, I have a mid-morning
cup of coffee, followed by another tablet. This one is to control my high blood pressure.
If it's fine, I potter about in the garden - cutting the lawn or trimming the hedges. I must
ensure that I water the bonsai every day. I've raised them all from seed over the years,
and the oldest of them if now aged 34. Then to the computer to check the e-mails and to
browse the web. I finish by relaxing with a computer game.
It is time then to start preparing the main meal of the day - still called "dinner" in this house.
Another session at the computer follows, then I watch sport on TV - plenty of cricket at
this time of year. After tea, more television sport or possibly a good film. A hot chocolate
drink to finish the day, and so to bed about 11pm.
Enough excitement for one day!
