Tomorrow (Wednesday) I've gotta remember...

...that:

  1. it's weekly virus scan and backups day
  2. I've got a delivery due
  3. I've gotta at least make a start on the hopefully last edit of my memoir
  4. I can have creamy drinks again!!
  5. That it's an apricot, cherries and maybe a banana for lunch
  6. The screenshots and photos go into July folders instead of June
  7. I've gotta keep an eye on my emails to see if my MP has replied to my email about his newsletter (and no, it's not what you're thinking lol)

Today's (30th June 2026) tea photo

Today's (30th June 2026) lunch photo

Today's lunch was supposed to be 2 apples, 2 pears, 2 easy peelers and a 330ml can of a Sparkling Passion pop, but I couldn't even break the skin of the easy peelers, let alone peel them, so I didn't have those today and just had the apples, pears and pop for my lunch instead.


Tomorrow will be a couple of apricots and a few British cherries along with a can of pop.


Here's today's kinda lunch photo:


I can now...

...satisfy my crunchy savory craving 'cos I've got 6 sharing packets of onion crisps and I can also satisfy my craving for creamy hot chocolates and maybe even experiment with the cherries too, to see what they are like dunked in squirty cream!


Today (and hopefully the rest of the week) is gonna be gooood now that I can satisfy my cravings!

Today's (30th June 2026) breakfast photos

Today's breakfast was the same as yesterday - a 500ml glass of water to take my morning pills with to start off with, then my usual solid breakfast of choccie Weetabix with exactly the right amount of soya milk this morning and a freshly-decanted 250ml bottle of Wonky Sweet and Sour apple juice.


Here's todays 2 breakfast photos:



Mornin' all

Well, I slept really well last night and woke up at 4am but turned over and went back to sleep until 5am.  I took my morning Visible reading and got a huuuge 4 out of 5 for my 'Morning Stability' score, so I'm gonna weigh myself just to check that it's safe for me to do it weight-wise then I'll get started on my exercises.


My blood pressure machine was a nightmare this morning and kept throwing up the same error message until I changed the batteries, then bingo!


I tried to take my pro and pre-biotics this morning, but they were all stuck in a huge lump so I've binned them and I'm gonna get more Omegas instead from Holland & Barrett 'cos I know that they don't all clump up.  I'm also gonna get some more batteries too.


Yesterday's delivery has been delayed (no shit Sherlock!) and the new estimated delivery date is "on or before 2 July" which is Thursday and 2 weeks since I ordered it for supposedly next day delivery!


I've also gotta remember to put the bags down by the door ready for my groceries and put in my next order too.


The daily virus scan found an advanced issue, so I'll publish this, put my breakfast photos up, then today's to-do list while it's resolving.
