Nite nite orl

It's been a long, exhausting week and I'm really feeling it in my body, so I've popped my last two pills of the week bang on time and I'm heading off to beddy-byes now.


I'll see you all in the morning.

Today's (5th April 2026) breakfast photo

For potentially my last photo of the week, my breakfast was my usual 500ml glass of water and a banana.


Here's today's breakfast photo:



Mornin' all

I've woken up at my usual time again this morning, so maybe my body is finally getting used to the time change at last?


My blood pressure was at the high end of my normal range, but still low.


I've taken my morning pills and had my breakfast so I'll put them up now that the daily virus scan has finished and come up clear.


Gotta remember to take my rubbish and recycling out today and refill my dosette box after lunch.

It's been a very long, very exhausting day today and I'm absolutely shattered, so I've taken my last two pills of the day and I'm going to bed.
