Today's (2nd September 2026) lunch photo

I had a healthy, protein-rich lunch today of two red peppers and two pickled eggs, washed down with a 500ml glass of water.

Here's today's lunch photo:

Today's (2nd September 2026) breakfast photos

Today's breakfast came in two parts, in the hope that I don't snack today lol  The first part was my usual 500ml glass of water to wash my 10 morning pills down with.  The second part was the last choccie Weetabix in the first sleeve of the box with approx 150ml of Plant Protein soya milk and the first 250ml bottle of freshly-decanted Sweet & Sour apple juice from the carton.

Here's today's two breakfast photos now that my weekly virus scan and backups have finished:

Mornin' all

Well, I've had a thoroughly exhausting morning so far - it started off OK with my 'Morning Stability' score of 4, then I took my blood pressure which was 118, then popped my 10 morning pills and had my breakfast and remembered to start off the weekly virus scan... all good so far.  I then decided to pull the Anglo box into the hall and it was waaaay too heavy so may not have been collected, so I took the plates and bowls out and decided to leave them for another collection.  The box was too wide to get past so I decided to put it outside for collection and decided to donate the plates and bowls today after all, so I went to get a second box, put it together and labelled both boxes, then dragged them outside.  I'm thoroughly exhausted now, but it's one less thing for me to worry about today now.

The weekly virus scan has just finished, so I'm gonna set off the backups then put today's to-do list together.

BBIAB

Nite nite orl

It's gonna be another busy day until after lunch tomorrow 'cos of the weekly virus scan and backups as well as having to move the box and handing it over to Anglo.  I'm pondering on doing my laps and exercises in the afternoon again tomorrow so that I'm not so rushed and exhausted in the morning.

I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm heading to bed now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl

Today (1st September 2026) I'm grateful for...

...all of my groceries being in stock, doing my laps and exercises without falling over (just several significant wobbles) and getting the slot for the collection before I signed off for the night.
