Today's (29th October 2026) breakfast comment

Today's breakfast was the same as yesterday's - a 500ml glass of water to wash my 12 morning pills down with.

Mornin' all

Spending so much of yesterday reading and only doing one set of laps and exercising was just what my body needed 'cos I woke up to a 'Morning Stability' score, on my Visible, of 4 this morning!

I've taken my blood pressure and it was in the normal reference range, which is high for me, of 123.  I've popped my 12 morning pills and run the daily virus scan, so I'm gonna go and do my first set of laps and exercises today before the Olio-er comes for her Pak Choi and chewing gum.

I think I've decided that my lunch will come in two parts 'cos there are 3 different times and temperatures for the 3 different parts of my lunch, so it'll be eggs first, then the mushrooms and fillet for the second part.

Time to do my first set of exercises then do my morning blog admin and get my breakfast photo up on Instagram.

BBL

Nite nite orl

It's been a long ole day today with the monthly virus scan and backups as well as reading my memoir, but I've got through the day without snacking and tomorrow is a fresh, new day, with an Olio-er coming for the Pak Choi and chewing gums at 8am then my first ever two hard boiled eggs cooked in the air-fryer and hoping that they are cooked properly lol  Gotta remember to fill the sink with cold water and put a few ice cubes in to make them easier to peel apparently, but that's a task and a worry for tomorrow.

I've filled my first two new brand water bottles with squash and taken my pills so I'm heading to bed now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today's (28th October 2026) breakfast and lunch comments

It was my weekly and monthly virus scan and backups this morning, so I wasn't able to get my breakfast photo up before now, but it was just a 500ml glass of water to wash my mountain of morning pills down with.

I've just had my lunch which was almost the same as yesterday's, but I had 3 chestnut mushrooms to go with the Pak Choi and the vegetarian fillet, but without the mayonnaise today and I really needed the 330ml can of a Sparkling Mango pop today to make up for it.
