Nite nite orl

It's been a long ole day today and I definitely eat and drink when I'm lonely which I really wanna get out of the habit of doing before it becomes an addiction that I've gotta break.

I reckon I'm gonna re-start my OddBox subscription again soonish now that I'm used to having veggies in me and it'll be healthier to pick at fruit instead of chocolate too.

I've taken the recycling out so I've gotta remember to bring the box in when it's been emptied tomorrow.  I've gotta get washed and changed again tomorrow too.

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

I'll see you all in the morning.

Today's (29th March 2026) breakfast photo

Today's breakfast was purely liquids because of my poorly bottom and as well as my usual 500ml glass of water, I also had a freshly-decanted 250ml bottle of Tropical juice.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

Did you all remember to change your clocks overnight?  I did, but my Inspire is 10 minutes slow for some reason.

So far this morning I've taken my blood pressure (high normal again), popped my 10 morning pills, had my breakfast, produced a poo-nami and run the daily virus scan (which was still clear).

My bottom is feeling poorly this morning but is still just about solid, so that's reassuring.

Gotta remember to box up and take out the recycling this morning too.

Time to get today's to-do list together.

Nite nite orl

It's been another long ole day again today so I've taken my last two pills of the day and I'm heading off to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning with hopefully all of the clocks changed over.  Gotta remember to box up and take out the recycling too.

I've decided...

...that I'm fed up of ignoring the housework, so on 1st April (which I'm aware is April Fool's Day) I'm gonna aim to do the housework according to the list so that it's not all done on one or two days a month.  I'm fine when I've got started, it's just finding the motivation is all.
