Another week goes by and not much improvement. Feel like my baseline is dropping.

- MiL came to visit and helped massively by tidying up the overgrown garden - just something I am unable to manage these days. I did 1.5 lengths with the mower and that caused 2.5 days of PEM.
- Nothing growing in the veggie patch this season so it's now covered in cardboard and weights.
- Family found a total of 5 frogs in-and-around the pond which is great, "Dave" our first settler seems to have a family.
- I wish football commentators and pundits hard a decent grasp of English. Describing a turn or a shot as unbelievable for example, such that if they described it to someone they literally would not believe it had happened. Describing outcomes as they were always going to score that or they have to score, when the xG is 0.48.
