Monday 20th May

 It's been a busy, tiring day.

I had my first pulmonary rehab class today; a mix of loosely supervised exercises and then educational talk. This first session was mostly about working out baseline measurements and taking me through the first set of exercises. I have high hopes that they are going to prove very useful. I'll post about them in more detail in a 'my oxygenated life'. But not today! I came home with wobbling knees and aching legs from the exercises I did manage to get done.

It was a complete delight to be surprised by the first poppies as I walked through the house when I came in,

I went straight through to the garden. The sage has been flowering for a week now

and the first snapdragon flower, left over from last year (and the years before, no doubt)

After lunch I pottered (wobbled?) about, and cleared out a few finished notebooks that weren't worth keeping, a couple of bits for charity and some music for a music teacher friend. 

Then teach a piano lesson... and our evening meal (soup and toast)... and a phone call to my father...

Now it's after 8pm and I reckon that's a day's work!
