Today's (1st August 2026) breakfast photos

Today's breakfast came in two parts again - the first part was my normal 500ml glass of tap water to wash my 11 morning pills down with and the second part was choccie Weetabix with approx 150ml of Plant Protein soya milk and a freshly-decanted 250ml bottle of Wonky pineapple juice.  I don't think I'd ever had pineapple juice before so didn't know what to expect, but I really enjoyed it!

Here's today's two breakfast photos:

Mornin' all

I've woken up to a 'Morning Stability' score of 3 again so, in theory at least, I can do my laps and exercises today.  In reality though, that just wouldn't be safe, so I'm just gonna have a long soak in a hot bubble bath and hopefully remember to brush my teeth.

I've taken my blood pressure which was 110 which is pretty high for me.

I've also lost track of what I'm doing and got caught up with trying to find crisper drawers for my fridge instead lol

The virus scan was clear, so I'm gonna hopefully remember to get today's breakfast photos and today's to-do list together now, before I forget again lol
