Feel bleurgh after a night of weird dreams and not as much sleep as I'd have liked.

Now that I've got the car back, I'm going to do a run over to Lidl after lunch to stock up on stuff.

Also need to label the jars of grape jelly I made yesterday. Just the thing to have with peanut butter on toast.

I dread to think what mine is after the last 18 months, was a bit high then.

Doctors later to get something to help with my knee pain, Tesco 20p ibuprofen is not touching it

I hope that the doctor will prescribe something sensible that works. Don't touch tramadol or you'll never get off it. Hopefully you will get some improvement soon.

My good news is that my mum can come home later this afternoon or early evening.

I hope that ping machine is not a microwave! Take care, feet up for a couple of days.

No, just a machine that goes ping. Totally ignorant of medicine beyond college biology, as I had to have another science beside meteorology.

Argh nuts... blood pressure is a bit high 158 over 88. Was 6 months ago. Never had high blood pressure before. Most likely due to less than ideal exercise (for me) after busting my spine. 24h meter to wear in 2 weeks. Time to hit the potassium rich foods (which I've not had many recently) and get cycling

Mines usually up a bit when it's taken, despite having taken enough medication over the last few years to put me in danger of rattling over the bumps.

Red sky at night shepherds delight. Red sky in the morning shepherds warning. Minced lamb , peas and potatoes...shepherds pie.

We have corn instead of peas, and ground beef instead of lamb, over here. I don't see it as shepherds pie, then

In my experience he usually prescribes whatever is cheapest, I had good results with Naproxen last time so maybe that.

Will go down later and see if he can fit me in.

@Gravity Aided, very best wishes to you from W14. Let us know about the hospital food. In the UK, I found the veggie one was always the best.

Actually quite good, I'm also on a restricted diet, but have good choices on the menu. I had my usual bagel and cereal for breakfast, last night's potato soup was divine.

 

[Gravity Aided]

If it is beef, it is cottage pie.

That's how I see it as well. Meat pies may be a good Avenue for culinary improvement in this country, although pot pies have improved greatly.

3rd gear synchro has gone on my new doblo van at 5k...ffs
Warranty claim..nearest fiat service is 25 miles away..none in Peterborough to do commercial...its a 1250 engine used in cars like fiat doblo which I can buy at Peterborough Fiat!!!! I give up

 

[Gravity Aided]

That makes no sense, I should think Fiat would do better than that.

I've had a few rests, flicked quite a few catterpiggles off of the sprout plants, put up some poles on the pergola and had another rest and am feeling a bit better. 121 over 68 with a slight headache.
The weather here has been lovely and sunny although it looks like some high storm clouds are moving in from the West.

Freshly caught mackerel for tea. We actually caught something for once! Most were released but not much gets close to very fresh mackerel.

Black pepper and a bit of generic Cajun. I haven't got my hot smoker with me (too large for luggage) and wanted a hint of smoke at least.
