Nite nite orl

I've popped my last two pills of the day but I'm not heading to bed quite yet 'cos I'm still buzzing after seeing C this afternoon!


I've got a delivery due tomorrow of a set of replacement laundry baskets 'cos the wire is almost out of one of my current ones, but I've had them since 2023 so they've done me well.  I've also got some meal replacement bars coming for the days that the carers don't turn up.


Logging off for the night now.


I'll see you all bright and early in the morning.

Today's (1st May 2025) lunch photo

There's at least 40 minutes to go before my lunchtime carer arrives and I'm not gonna be around this afternoon, so I wanted to get the photo up while I still could.


Lunch today is 7 vegetarian picnic eggs and a 500ml glass of water.

Mornin' all

I hope all the Pagans reading this have a blessed Beltane today!


I've had a productive morning so far 'cos I've taken my blood pressure, popped my morning pills, put my wools on to wash and dry and set the daily virus scan off and it's found an advanced issue, so hold on while I resolve it...

...OK, sorted.

My best friend, C, is coming over after lunch so may not be able to get my lunch photo up until tomorrow morning, depending on what time he gets here and how knackered I am when he leaves.

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