Tuesday - buying a barrel to exist like Diogenes

[Pinno718]

Your thread title almost makes sense. You're slipping

All my titles make sense to me.

Diogenes lived in a barrel (of sorts). He gave up materialism* and withdrew from society.

*I think this is only because bicycles weren't invented then

Morning
Another damp one here. Currently finishing my second coffee and watching next door’s squirrel raid the bird feeder. Apparently it’s supposed to be nice and sunny later but with 40 plus winds. I thinking cycling might be over for this summer.

Is it a Red Squirrel?

That's what I meant by it making sense
Although the fact that barrels hadn't been invented meant he had to improvise

Another brief escape from the barrel for another blood test, will get the verdict later on. Or hopefully no call if the cell counts are heading back to more normal.

Wish this continual wind would do one. Potter about doing light bits and pieces, which is indeed better than being immobile. Onwards.

Huzzah!! Finally got hold of IBD Nurse. Starting back on Cortiment but that'll probably give me steroid induced diabetes again, but not as severe as Prednisolone does, plus you don't have to taper to come off it. They are discussing it in MDT meeting on Thurs so hopefully back on Azathioprine too. Also GP has prescribed me Pregabalin for my Peripheral Neuropathy, so lets hope this helps. This will all help boost my daily pill count back to mid to late 20's again. Maybe even 30+? I thought I was lacking in a bit of pill-rattle of late......

he had a thing with Proud Mary.

Mostly sunny day but quite chilly wind... then steady rain all evening. Morning of random chores, a short walk, then an afternoon on the bike in the shed. Probably should have tackled a few of the jobs on The List but mojo lacking.

I took Lyrica for 6 months as a trial to see if it helped with the neuropathy. Works for some people apparently, I'm not one of them. Did give me severe constipation, as the only discernible effect.

I definitely DON'T want constipation with a Stoma!! It'll look like I have a cold chisel sticking out from my stomach!!

Not round here. The only reds in this area are in some sort of a pen at the Yorkshire arboretum.

Mine just fills up with gas and looks like a Zeppelin.

Balloch Park, near to where my Dad lives has them.

The fact that it's only about 20 miles away from Glasgow just amazes me, even if it is beside Loch Lomond.
