Nite nite orl

My hayfever season has well and truly started, so I'll be coughing and sneezing and croaking and sore and streaming eyes now until September/October kinda time, when I'll get a couple of "free" weeks before my cold season starts again.

I'm knackered tonight so I've popped my pills and I'm taking myself on up to beddy-byes.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today (6th April 2026) I'm grateful for...

...not snacking at all today!  I had a banana after my morning exercises but that was for an energy boost rather than snacking.  If I can get through the rest of the week without snacking then I might hopefully have finally cracked the habit!

Today's (6th April 2026) tea photo

Today's tea was the first for a little while in the hopes that I can get through tomorrow without snacking again... it's a habit rather than hunger that I've gotta break.  It was a 250ml mug of instant Minestrone Cup Soup.

Here's today's tea photo:

Today's (6th April 2026) lunch photo

Today's lunch was the leftovers from yesterday's Sunday roast and this week consisted of 2 servings of a vegetarian family roast, 2 crispy roast potatoes, roasted in approximately 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil with a few broccoli stems and plenty of peas and sweetcorn, washed down with a 500ml glass of water.

Here's today's lunch photo:

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:
