More blood tests, an echocardiogram and goodness knows what else on the cards now. This was a new (to me) GP, a locum; a young Indian woman looking like a 5th of 6th former. Still, she was pretty thorough, told me my kidneys are not as good as hoped but at least not any worse than before, my...

10.1 at 05.00 today. Must try not to be asleep at 08.30 when the phone lines for our GP open to try to get an appointment to see a GP.

Good idea. Breakfast: more of the soup with a couple of crackers. 2nd meal will be sausage casserole. Going to try to get an appointment with a GP today to find out what he/she thinks about my chest X-Ray result. :p

Just sorted through the drawer with knitting needles in - about 20 pairs of steel needles of all sizes plus a pair of wooden ones - no size on them but pretty big. Then sets of 4 needles for sock making - 5 of those of various sizes. Then a range of sizes of crochet hooks and cable needles and...

5.6 at 05.25 today. Recycling day today but so far, Neil hasn't put the bins out. I hope he remembers in time but at present he hasn't wakened. He keeps odd hours due to his health issues, so no idea if he will be up in time. Que sera... (Sounds better than a shrugged "Whatever!")

Breakfast: more of yesterday's soup with a few crackers and some ham. Tea. 2nd meal will be cold chicken with salad.

Happy International Women's Day whatever you identify yourself as. If your self identity is male, just celebrate the feminine side of your nature. 9.6 today at 04.00. Breakfast was about 05.45 but stomach is still burning - I think all that inflammation from weeks ago is still hanging around...

Happy International Women's Day. Breakfast: 2 beef sausages and one fried egg. Tea. 2nd meal will be c***-a-leekie soup (Oh how I resent having to censor the name of a traditional Scottish dish). Came across a big drawer full of yarn - wool, cotton and some sort of man made fibre, which I...

No space for anything else in here. I did have an air fryer but didn't find it useful or justifiable in terms of space, so I got rid of it. But I have to say that, as I get older, I do keep falling asleep and miss bleeping alarms. May have to re-evaluate.

8.9 at 03.20 today. Did some baking yesterday but fell asleep and didn't hear the timer going off. Pastries burned to a crisp! :banghead:

Breakfast: pea soup with some bits of sausage cut into it. 2nd meal will be chicken korma. Neil had bought a mango - lovely and ripe (unusual) but he only wanted half of it. I decided to make some pastries with the other half. Unfortunately, I put them in the oven and then fell asleep. One...

Breakfast: pea soup with another dumpling. Tea. Didn't actually finish the bowl of soup - just didn't fancy it. 2nd meal will be pork sausages, defrosted mash and onions. Will make a sausage casserole with the rest of the packet, for later in the week. Just phoned my GP surgery to find out...

9.1 at 03.00 today. Only 11/2 hours sleep but I did doze for about another half hour in the chair. I should sleep longer but I'm glad I don't. That's why I don't take anything that would make me sleep longer. At least this way my body warns me when it's had enough of being in one position...

Full on birthday now Antje. Have a very happy birthday and a great party. :joyful::singing::happy:

It 20 minutes to midnight, Thursday. Almost your birthday Antje. So have a very happy day with your friends and here's to many more such days in future (many happy returns as we say in this country). It'll be more pea soup for me for breakfast. I'll think about the rest tomorrow. Nothing...
