I need a BBQ


It’s amazing how quickly these Mondays come around.
I had a disturbed nights sleep after suffering with cramp in my left calf muscle. Absolute bastard. I don’t know if I was sleeping in a funny position or hadn’t drunk enough during the day or what, but I woke up about 3.15am thinking someone had snapped my lower leg. How is muscle cramp so sodding painful?
I got up, hobbled about, stretched it, fell back into bed, started to breathe properly again, at which point it came back for a second attack. Absolute bastard.
Anyway, one struggles on through the constant ravages of age.
In work life, the frequency of online meetings with various levels of management is increasing week on week. I suppose it’s hard for them all to justify their salaries when they’re not driving around the country constantly pretending to improve things at different sites, so calling people together via Zoom or Teams gives them something to put in their diary.
Everything has felt like a struggle today, and I have to confess that this blog posting is included in that. Every word I type seems to have taken four hours to work its way from my brain down through my body to my fingertips. Do I need more caffeine? Or an early night? Not sure, but before I head for home I’m picking up a bag of charcoal and a box of firelighters and I thoroughly intend to barbecue the shit out of whatever meat products we have sitting in the fridge.
Nothing makes a man feel better than burning food outside.
