Whoever thought that buying a new suitcase would be such a palaver...

Small suitcases i.e. cabin carry on size have shrunk quite noticeably since I bought the one I am about to retire to storage duties on the loft, and the expandable bit on most of them is a total joke. Spent my day scuttling between TKmaxx and the Grafton Centre armed with a notebook and tape measure.

I finally found one that I could live with, though I did have to compromise on aesthetics and forego an outside pocket in which to put my newspaper. Mind, the extra 40% off at the till was quite a pleasant surprise.

Blame health & safety, via claims for work related injuries.

Not down at 7%!!

Do or do not, there is no try.

It was 5am in the morning for me... I had been up since 3:30am and seen 22:00 (when I get woken to take my meds) 23:00, 24:00/00:00, 01:00 and 02:15 give our take a few minutes either way.

I didn't go to bed in the end but perhaps I should have done. I made a mistake preparing my meds for the day at 6am. I usually have 2 time release paracetamol and 300mg pregabalin at 6am and will get the 2pm dose of each out as well (along with my other daily meds). I take 3 tablets and the rest go in the tablet cutter's storage area... At breakfast I found 3 paracetamol in the storage area not 2 paracetamol and 1 pregabalin. I know I took 3 tablets . My hubby, bless him, asked if I need him to stay with me for the morning to which I did yes. I'd just oded on pregabalin quite heavily. Then he turned around and told me he couldn't but would ring me frequently to check on me. He left at 7am. It's now 11am and guess what?

Tonight's supper. Spud pie,cauliflower cheese and garden peas.

 

[classic33]

He's not called?

Without checking, and feel free to tell me what to do, how low is the overdose limit on Pregabalin?

Early start, off to that Larndun on business. At least I should get lunch at Oxford services.

I'll be there at lunchtime. Give us a wave if you see me, I'll be on Regs' Old Pearson single speed.

The alarm is going off....eughhh, it seems like I only just fell asleep, I lean across and fumble for the button...it won't go off. I fumble some more in my torpid state, it wont go off, i press more buttons, am i pressing the wrong one...the alarm won't go off, jeez, am i being stupid....it finally stops as I press any button I. can find.
I lay there....wha ?...its 04.10.
Have I reset the time while fumbling around ? I get up and go find my tablet...it says 04.05. Oh ffs, i reset the alarm to 05.00 and slowly drift off again, wondering what the heck just happened.

I wake at 05.00 and getting dressed I see my mobile....it dawns on me, yeah that was the alarm....its got a very occasional habit of going off at 04.00, a former alarm I set about a year ago that I can't find to turn off.

I find a bucket of water useful.

On my way out on my bike ride this morning I've got to drop the car in at the garage for its MOT and service. It could work out to be an expensive day.

I'm in that London and the sun is shining. Well I think it's shining, there is certainly a bright patch in the heavy yellow haze.

Paging @Markymark! Due to some snafu at the BBC, we received the local news for London instead of the South. So instead of stories about antique theft and sailing, I got to watch a traffic jam camera and the aftermath of a stabbing.
