I haven't been outside my front gate for a month now. This should be awful, but frankly it is not. Clearly not desirable and yes I am very pissed off at all the activities I would be doing, the holidays, walks, gigs, meetings with friends. But have to be realistic. Compared to most I am fine. Have plenty of friends to message, a large house and a garden.
My mate Thibault has even persuaded me to get onto a proper exercise regime, on top of my morning stint on the cross-trainer. So I find myself apparently doing things like stretching my adductors, whatever they are. Do I even have them? Are they optional extras like go faster stripes or leather trim, that I might not have signed up for? Something else "Targets principally my gastrocnemius", which even my spell check sensibly wants to amend to "gastronomic". As for strengthening my core, well sorry I am a fat middle-aged guy. Of course I don't have a core. I just have a squidgy middle.
And of course I have the benefits of my garden. Fresh air and something to look after. Early days but starting to flower.

But what I am most looking forward to is my wisteria, which is just starting to bloom. In a few days I think it will be spectacular. Limits of my horizon at the moment.
