10.30 Sunday September 16th as the main Great North Run is underway. Last night I went to sleep watching Montalbano and did not see the end, going to bed immediately just after 10, 30. It was an up and down night although there was one three hour spell and overall over 7 hours keeping up the average use of 7 hours over the past five nights, but then sleeping on and rising after nine and downstairs to watch the last past of Andrew Marr which had started early at 8.30 because of the Great North Run build up programme.
10.35 At the start are Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford, Ellie Simmonds one of the rowers Kat Copland and the first female boxer to be a champion at any Olympic Games Nicola Adams. My breakfast was mushrooms with tomatoes from the microwave. I need to do the washing up from yesterday once the race has started.
13.30 Enjoyed watching much of the Great North Run programme but on TV because of the effort yesterday and the long time asleep it has been difficult to get going although having enjoyed a roast chicken with vegetables lunch I will make the effort again shortly. Joe McEldery ran a good time and his new album is being advertised this week. The 15 year Jarrow lad Hebburn School Gold Medal swim winner Paralympic was at the Quayside Games and the young Marathon which took place on Saturday.
13.31 I have completed yesterdays Diary, publishing and printing.
14, 32 In reverse order got a Pepsi Max which I am about to drink. Prepared a small tin of Pink Salmon for tea. Stripped the rest of the whole chicken cooked for lunch and covered with cling film as the salmon and the remainder of the vegetables from the lunch and placed in the fridge. The chicken provides a curry and a stir fry. Moving from white rice to brown rice. Potatoes and bread are out as well as cakes and ice creams, salted peanuts and mini choc bars. Only the sprats will remain a once a week treat. I have acquired thirteen small plastic containers so hopefully with a rotation system in which I purchase a pack or small quantity one a week. Fortnight I will prolong the season by 3 months,
14.38 Before this I took some completed work development lever arch files to the top and then did some more sorting of the remaining cardboard boxes in the attic. I will now catch up on the end of the Montalbano and on the Andrew Marr Show. I hope to do another half an hour to an hour of activity later to keep to the two hours a day plan. I also did some watering of plants and more on how this years approach has progressed later.
15.20 I remembered that I had missed the beginning of the three card game, fourth in new Montalbano series as well as the ending. Before writing about this on catch up on other started writing to be completed I want to also catch up on the Andrew Marr show form this morning.
19.00 Enjoyed the Salmon Salad followed by a £1 Carton of Grapes. Undertook over an hour activity moving completed Development files upstairs and then reorganising Creative boxes, Boxes and DVDs in the made available space. Should finish this phase of the activity tomorrow.
19.10 Going slow again. Will sort out some financial payments for the month while listening to the Mayo and Kermode special live Friday afternoon film programme on James Bond Music.
23.55 Watched an important George Gently and then Downton Abbey being Downton Abbey. Did washing up. Messed up Chess game level three so back to square one.
