Nite nite orl

It's been a very long, very hot, very sweaty day today but my new fan has really come into its own.  I'll leave a review for it after a few days so that I can give it a good run for my money, but right now, it's very much 5 stars.

I've taken my last two pills of the day and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Recipe idea for my leftover apples, pears and easy-peelers

I've just asked AI if apples, pears and easy-peelers are OK to make into a smoothie and they apparently make a great combination.  I've gotta put in about 150ml of water, finely chop 1 apple into small pieces (because the skin can be tough to break up), core the 1 pear, de-pip (so basically halve each segment to check) the 1 easy peeler, bung it all into my smoothie machine, turn it on for 35-45 seconds et voila!

I forgot how easy it was to make smoothies and now that I'm getting fruit each week via my OddBox, it's even easier!

Today's (18th July 2026) breakfast photo

Today's breakfast was just my normal 500ml glass of water to take my morning pills with and I'm not hungry, so doubt I'll have anything solid until lunchtime.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

Well, I woke up at 4.30am and didn't see the point in going back to sleep.  My 'Morning Stability' score was 3 again but I'm not gonna risk my laps or exercises today otherwise I'll end up on the floor and not be able to get back to my feet.  I took my morning pills and they all went down fine, so I turned the water heating switch on at 5.25am and I'm gonna get into the bath at around 6am to see how hot or otherwise the water is after 35 minutes.

The virus scan was clear so I'm gonna get today's breakfast photo up, then today's to-do list, then see what the time is like after that.

Nite nite orl

It's been a long week and a thoroughly exhausting and anxious day today, so I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm taking myself on up to beddy-byes now for a well-deserved early night.

I'll see you all in the morning.
