Now, for the next two weeks, I won't be able to see it or go for a walk unless I go out to buy groceries or seek medical care. That may be a ticket to a paseo, as a couple of hours before I took those photos, I'd had a bike crash and acquired a good case of road rash. Doctored myself, but if I develop an infection, I'd get a chance to walk to the health center. There's a silver lining to every cloud.
As far as today goes, I got a couple of long-put-off chores done. The first was to put a bandaid on one of the heating pipes whose leak I discovered a couple of weeks ago. The repairman said he would try to make it down "next week", but that was before lockdown. So I jury-rigged a method of keeping water off the floor and measuring the flow so I could know when to replace the loss.
To compensate for the elimination of cycling and walking, I decided to start pumping iron again, so I set up the weight bench which has been unused for about eighteen months. I also decided to climb the stairs in multiples, so instead of one flight, I go back down and do two more. Every journey starts with the first step. More tomorrow...
