Is that because you're tired?

No, because I'm lazy!

A very high calcium, selenium, silica, magnesium, boron diet. Plus a few other of the scarce minerals

There's a Solgar bone supplement that's useful, plus I made sure I had about a litre of Almond milk a day (not the organic one, it's not fortified) (I can't had cows milk, I'm allergic to it) and in addition to that 1/2l of nettle tea a day. Home-made nettle tea not the shop bought stuff. It needs to steep overnight to get the minerals put of the nettles. Nettles are very highly nutritious and very underrated. Get dried nettles unless you have a very good nettle patch. I used to buy them from The Spiceworks, Hereford. http://www.thespiceworks.co.uk/ and i would often add in some dried horsetail and peppermint. Sometimes red clover florets as well.

It took 2 years but was much better than taking the prescribed medication which for me was untested and not recommended on premenapausal womenn plus had some really nasty side affects.

You may not want the hassle but some things i prefer to do naturally rather than through medication. Plus you need to include some walking each and every day to make use of the minerals you are consuming.
Interesting indeed.

I've been taking the Adcal calcium + vit D tablets with the (a bit nasty) alendronic acid tablet (once a week). I normally have milk in my diet but it won't be a litre per day. I probably don't walk enough tho'. I started out doing the recommended very brisk 2 miles per day but found it boring. I'm often up on my feet and hardly ever use the car but is it enough? (rhetorical). Not come across Solgar and the nettles are interesting. I'll check that out. I'm due another DEXA scan sometime so I'll find out if my lazy way has done any good.

Thanks @SatNavSaysStraightOn and well done you!!

Morning....

Well afternoon now, but that's my fault. I have been on the go since 7am just on my 2nd break... Stopping for lunch now... Once the washing machine finishes. N going to have to speak to my oh about how many days in a row he wears a single shirt. One of them had had to go back for a hand scrub at the collar and cuffs before going around for a second machine wash. Yuck.

He can't help it. It's having to crawl through those gaps between to 0s and 1s to catch the bug.

I love summer time. Anyone seen my umbrella?
Beautiful here. Very muggy last night too :heat: don't think it cooled down at all.
Beautiful sunshine here - and there was a delicious cool breeze last night. I even had to shut the garden door at bedtime as it got a bit nippy with that and the skylight and all the windows open...
