Aaaaand...

...edit number 5 is finished and sent off to my wonderful best friend.  I hope he can help me to get it bang on this time so that I can get a headache with trying to deal with Amazon again soonish then finally hit the "publish" button again.


I'm rewarding myself with the last in the tub of drinking chocolate and the Olio-er has said that they will be here at 6.30pm so this is their final chance otherwise I'll block them and report them as a no-show.


Up to page...

...306 now and I'm gonna leave it there in case I start sobbing... I'll hopefully start again after lunch though  :-)

Today's (14th June 2026) breakfast photo

For potentially my last meal photo of the week, I forgot to take a photo of the 500ml glass of water before I started popping my pills so this is post-pill-popping.  There prolly won't be a tea photo again this week, so this is potentially the last one.


Here's today's breakfast photo:


Mornin' all

Well, my bladder woke me up at 3.15am and I only just made it to the bathroom in time.  I woke up properly at 4.30am but didn't want to get out of bed.  I eventually got up properly at about 4.45am and took my Visible reading which was 3 out of 5 this morning.


My blood pressure was a bit high at 113 but that's still lower than the medical reference range which starts at 120.


I've popped my morning pills, but forgot to take the photo until I was most of the way through taking them, so my last meal photo of the week shows my post-pills breakfast.


I've just got washed and changed so I'm all clean ready for the day now.


The daily virus scan was clear, so that's reassuring.


This first blog post of the day is getting a bit too long, so I'm gonna shut up, get my breakfast photo up, then my to-do list now I reckon.
