Wednesday 14th March 18

A lovely day really, as I got some stuff done outside including a Stephen delivery,  and I took the Step Trainer down to the charity shop and they were delighted, and I got Gill's prescription. For 6pm I cycled along the cycle track to see James who was wanting compost bin advice, and he asked me to buy and install one.

Then went to pick Joy up and walked into town with her and had a meal at City Screen, and then watched the film Tawai, A Voice From The Forest, which was just wonderful.  Walked home with Joy and cycled back home.

Thursday 15th March 18

I spent most of the day helping Joy. I facilitated a phone call with the Asbestos people and Benenden Healthcare, and dictated a letter for her to write to her GP requesting a diagnosis letter to be emailed to me so that it can get sent on to creditors and others.

We walked up to her doctors and I left her at Sainsburys. I went to the bank and paid Yell and the Press.

Friday 16th March 18

Quite a good admin day.  Renewed my Equity membership and forwarded Michael's risk assessment to Rob in Beverley. Spoke to several people about green funeral stuff.

Did some woodchopping, splitting and stacking.

Saturday 17th March 18

Weather got wilder and wilder, with snow flurries on and off all day.  I got some stuff done in the garden, notably getting Joy's bike ready for Kiri to have, and she arrived at about 7pm and had some soup and bread.

I walked her back as far as the Travellodge with the bike in the trailer, and she walked back to March St with it from there.

Sunday 18th March 18

Main successes of the day were to cycle over to Aldi and buy 60 litres of soya milk, plus 10 of almond milk. Also got veggies.

Sorted out a bin bag full of food which Kiri brought over last night from Joy's fridge, composting most of it but rescuing some.

And got ready to go out to Leeds!

Monday 19th March 18

Returned from Leeds.

Called in on Alligator, picked up supplies and compostables.

Met Rob Martin before Two Rivers Radio, and interviewed him for the show 8-9.

Tuesday 20th March 18

Another busy day, culminating in going to Leeds to present a 5 minute talk at Cafe Scientifique.

But most of the day was in Poppleton, visiting Mamta, the person behind Flower Power York, and she showed me her 3 growing areas.

I then visited Kate Houghton briefly before zooming back home to get ready to go to Leeds.
