Feedback, knees, eyes & teeth

Monday and back to my desk. However a lot of stuff to be sorted out first, so didn't get down to anything that might be described as writing. Lorraine off to take Pat and Maureen to Eastbourne for medical stuff and a shopping trip. 

Having cleared up my study, I took myself off to the gym at 11:30. Trundled on the cross trainer and did some of my normal mild mannered weights. Walking home thinking I need to put more time in at the gym, then at home, while eating a salad and chicken sarnie, I noticed my knee was a bit swollen and sore. I'd felt no twinges in the gym. However I can walk on it, and pushed off to see my dentist Coílín, friendly and lovely as ever. Lorraine, and Pat and Maureen use her and everyone likes her. Luckily my teeth just needed a short clean. 

Home, and shortly after Steve came around to discuss Gordon Road over a cup of tea. Many of the things he said were spot on. He had been apprehensive about giving me feedback, but he did a considered and thoughtful job, with useful insights. Charlotte is giving me some feedback on Wednesday, and I am feeling ready now to get stuck into the rewrite after that. Actually I was reminded of the virtues of boredom today, as I did not take my earpieces to the gym, so as I trundled for half an hour I had some good ideas instead of listening to people talking about politics.

Went outside to sit with Lorraine, who'd returned after ferrying duties, and almost immediately something got in my eye. My eyeball was scratched and was sore and painful all night. Annoying. I cooked, and then we finished off the last of the first series of Black Snow, set among sugar plantations in Northern Queensland. which was a jolly good show on iPlayer.

Black Snow is set among sugar plantations in Northern Queensland. Felt the ending was a bit rushed but the first few episodes were extremely atmospheric and interesting.
