Second update to today's to-do list
Today's (20th June 2026) lunch photos
Today's lunch was the last two pickled eggs, the last two easy peelers and two of the last three pears, washed down with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Guava pop today.
Here's today's two lunch photos:

Today's (20th June 2026) breakfast photo
Today's breakfast was the same as yesterday's and will be the same as tomorrow's - a 500ml glass of water to take my morning pills with.
Here's today's breakfast photo:
Mornin' all
I've woken up to my bladder being very overactive this morning and I've been for 4 wee's since 3am and I've only been downstairs since 5am, so I've wee'd 3 times in the last hour 😒
I've taken my blood pressure which was back down to 108 again this morning, so that's a relief, my morning pills have been popped, I pulled the switch in the bathroom at 5.20am so it's bath time at 6.20am and the daily virus scan was clear. My hayfever is already making me feel rotten, so it's gonna be a high pollen count today methinks.
Time to get today's breakfast photo up, then my to-do list, then it's bath time.
Friday, 19 June 2026
Nite nite orl
I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm absolutely knackered so I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.
I'll see you all in the morning.
