Today's (6th April 2026) breakfast photos

Today's breakfast came in two parts again - a 500ml glass of water to take my morning pills with, then two slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast with approximately 20g of 'Buttery' spread and washed down with a 250ml bottle of Tropical juice.

Here are today's two breakfast photos:

Mornin' all

After over 9 hours of sleep last night, I've woken up feeling worse than having 7 hours of sleep!

So far this morning, I've taken my blood pressure, popped my morning pills, had my breakfast, done the washing up, weighed myself (I've put on 800g) and run the daily virus scan which was still, reassuringly, clear.

Time to get today's to-do list together then do my first set of exercises of the day and week after charging up my Inspire.  Gotta unplug the drain again too.

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.
