Today's (3rd July 2026) tea photo

For my only meal today, because of waiting for an Olio-er and delivery at lunchtime and it was too close to tea time to have lunch by the time they had both been and gone, my only meal today was my tea of a 125g packet of Onion Rings crisps and a 330ml can of a Sparkling Lychee pop.

Here's today's tea photo:

After lunch I've gotta...

...remember to book a taxi for my medical appointment on 17th July for 3.15pm and take my print-out of the bit of my medical record with me.

Friday 17th July

I've just had my GP surgery on the phone and I've got a medical appointment on Friday 17th July to start testing me for asthma after it was in my hospital records a couple of times.

There's nothing in their GP records, but it was in my hospital records when I went to get my coil changed in April 2019 so I haven't got a clue what's going on and why it's not in my GP records, but I'm on the road to finding out one way or another now and first stop in 2 weeks time.

Just gotta print out the document in my hospital records now so that they can see that I'm not lying lol

Ooooh!

So far this morning there have been 5 birds chatting to me and my app has identified all of them for me!

FIrst off it was a Herring Gull (which is my usual greeter), then a Magpie, then a Yellow-legged Gull while I was doing my exercises and now there's a Common Woodpidgeon (which sometimes visits me, but not regularly) and a Carrion Crow too!

Thank you Green Man and potentially Gaia!

Today's (3rd July 2026) breakfast photo

I'm not hungry this morning, so I just had a 500ml glass of water to take my 8 morning pills with for breakfast this morning.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

I've woken up in a better rested body this morning, but I'm still not quite there yet.  My Visible score this morning was 3 so I can do my exercises this morning.

My blood pressure was at the top end of my own personal reference range but still low.

My morning pills have been popped and I'm not hungry again, so I've just had the water for breakfast again.

I've got a delivery due between 11.45am and 2.45pm (if I'm remembering correctly) so I'll do my laps this morning and potentially have a late lunch.

The daily virus scan was reassuringly clear, so I'm gonna get today's breakfast photo resized and put up, then my to-do list, then a caffeinated peach tea before putting up the Olio offer of the mayonnaise methinks.

BBS

Nite nite orl

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

I'll see you all in the morning.
