Today's (20th September 2026) breakfast comments

There was just the one part to my breakfast this morning - my usual 500ml glass of water to wash my 10 morning pills down with.

Mornin' all

Well, I had a rubbish night and a Freegler said that they were coming for something "tomorrow" at almost midnight, so my day is on hold until they get here now unfortunately.  I've managed to promise the majority of what was in the cupboard to a regular Freegler who is coming for it all on Friday after her shift and I'm hoping I'll be able to clear out the last of the cupboard while I'm waiting for today's Freegler.

I've taken my Visible reading a bit late 'cos my phone decided to misbehave so I had to restart it then forgot, but I'm at 3 again today.

My morning pills have been popped and I'm gonna have the orange pepper for my lunch instead of the mince pies so that it doesn't go to waste, then I'll put the rubbish and recycling out and get my OddBox container ready for whenever today's Freegler decides to turn up.  The virus scan was reassuringly clear again, so that's a relief.

Time to get today's breakfast photo up, then my to-do list, then charge my watch methinks.

BBS

Nite nite orl

I'm thoroughly wiped out and completely done in so I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm heading to bed.

I've gotta remember that I've offered the droppers etc and oil to my regular and replied to someone's Wanted ad for moving boxes, so I've gotta keep an eye out for any responses to those too.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today's (19th September 2026) tea comments

Today's tea rounded off a really healthy day with no snacking at all, which I'm really proud of.

Like most days this week, my last meal of the day was a plum and an easy peeler.
