Sunday February 22^nd 2009. Launch -53 days.

The calm before what, I fear, will be the storm. This next week promises to be intense as preparations for launch move into high gear. Today though has been a sorely needed relaxing day, filled with events like catching up on some sleep, a long walk in the afternoon sun and a major shopping expedition to buy fruit, vegetables and salad stuffs, reading and a session on the stepper this evening. With the intensity of work in recent weeks I have eased back a bit on the healthy diet and the exercise: it’s time to correct that.
