:hello: Good morning people, of out to do the shopping in a bit, good news from Wednesday's check up, my Good ladies healing nicely, also good news from her GP visit Tuesday, we asked for more physio to help her lack of mobility and the physio has been in touch already so she'll be getting more physio in a couple of months time.

Started young, and still going.
Morning all.
Another hot day ahead, 34c is forecast. :heat:
Sainsbury's are doing a delivery today, I seem to be ordering every week from them at the moment, not big stuff, just every day goods.
An early dog walk, followed by a bimble out on the bike on the delivery has come.
On a more serious note, I have been checking my blood pressure this week, as I got a message from the doctor last week that they wanted some readings. The last time I went for a check up it was a bit high.
At the moment I have cut right down on the ale, none since last friday, and have been on a extra healthy diet, my diet is very good normally. And already the pressure has come down by a few points. I am now just high instead of hyper intensive.
I do also need to lose a few pounds of weight anyway. So I will see how it goes over the next few weeks.
Enjoy your day everyone. :cuppa:

Me too, it is either new (bigger) trousers and shirts, or lose a pound or fourteen.

I have cut out the biscuits. Not sure if more drastic action is needed, ie booze, chocolate….etc

Pleasant 5 miles walked before the heat picks up. Lots of dog walkers out getting their dogs exercised before it gets too hot for them later. You would think this weather would make you want to get out and enjoy it, but it seems to be working in reverse for me and I just want to hide from it! :laugh:

Did an early (0800) Aldi dash....mainly fruit n milk type stuff. TBH all the fruit had a very short use by date so I only got nectarines.

We normally "live" in the conservatory but its already way too hot. We shall migrate to the back lounge.

Morning all. I have been out on the bike every day so far and intended to do a longer ride today but I am lacking the energy at the moment so maybe later on . I think the heat could have something to do with it. Still hot today. I am meeting a friend I haven't seen for months, this afternoon, due to him living in Spain but he is over here for a few weeks so time to catch up over a drink and a chance to speak French again. He is the one who also speaks fluent Spanish and Italian.
Driving to Birmingham tomorrow afternoon to see Les Miserables in the evening at the Hippodrome theatre. Really looking forward to it.
