Ivor’s Daily Gallivant Thursday November 2, 2023 Early on today was largely a waste of time. I thought I had a blood test this morning but when I got to the surgery, I had the wrong paperwork, and it was a wasted trip. On the bright side running there was exhilarating and good for my health. With the recent rain there would I’m told me plenty of negative irons which boosted my sense of wellbeing. There followed a series of seemingly useless Facebook messenger chats which left me feeling drained. In the afternoon I attended The Community Cook Up and did some sketches of the people queuing for their food. Lucie Mann told me of a plan to feature my paintings in her community website and she has applied for an orchard grant for my garden which she thinks stands a good chance of being granted. There will be news about that tomorrow. I checked my bank balance in One Stop on my way back from the bus stop. I was in a low mood and went to bed. My alarm sounded for to tell me to take my meditation and I realised the water was off. A friend who lives locally messaged me about the water and brought an emergency supply of bottled water.
