Despite the late night, having watched the England vs Panama World Cup game, I was up early. Jasper was getting noisy and I wanted to distract him and let into the garden, so that Di could rest. She didn't, but she did stay in bed nursing a cup of tea until it was time to come down for her morning injection.
After breakfast, Di went up to complete her physio exercises, and I made myself comfortable in the study. I had some final documentation to complete regrading the latest configuration work. After that, I started to review my backups - after all, with a new configuration, I had a new item to backup. It was while doing this that an amber light illuminated on one of my backup drives. That is not a good sign. It indicates the internal diagnostics have detected problems. As the drives are 10-12 years old, and are never switched off, I can't really complain. I now have to consider the most appropriate replacement. (Fortunately, I do still have two further copies of the data).
During the afternoon, Di wanted to stretch her legs a bit so we took a walk, doing several laps of the Italian garden. She was fairly galloping around. She is doing so well.
I had received a message from Maureen to say there was a parcel by her front door, and could I grab it and hold it for her. When she stopped by on her way home from visiting Chris at the hospital, We invited her in to have dinner with us. She's had a couple of weeks of trekking back and forth to the hospital (she doesn't drive), and I suspect that getting home and then cooking dinner for one can get tiresome. She jumped at the invite and we had a lovely hour or so chatting and joking.
