    I must make a kedgeree (or a version of it) soon, @Rachox! Not sure what happened to our pictures. I posted it the usual way, and then tried to attach it. Neither worked.

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    After having had a broken internet for a few days, here's a recent meal: lamb shank in red wine gravy, with sautéed potatoes, carrots and garden peas. Edit: I attached a pic but it didn't appear

    I just had a home made chicken, mushroom and red pepper vindaloo, with cauliflower rice.

    Thank you. It always helps when I'm being positive. Fingers crossed.

    The lady rang and explained it was for people who were fearful of going out, and that it was mainly for retired people. I said that wasn't me, but she gave some info, including information on a six week course at the local arts centre, on stress/anxiety management, run by the local heath board...

    My smart scale, which won't sync with the app any more since having had to reset the phone, shows that I lost 1.8 lbs this week.

    Looks lovely, @Rachox. Chunky carrots too.

    Thanks, I prefer them in red wine gravy, but it was nice regardless.

    Well I went to the ageing well drop-in session, but it wasn't there, and nobody seemed to know why. I took a photo of the poster last week, so I have the receipt (!). They suggested I ring, but the chap I spoke to didn't know either, but said it may be on hold due to the summer holidays. Anyway...

    Well I went out last night with my friend. It was quite busy, with lots of stag and hen dos about, but as the evening wore on, I almost felt normal - no stress or anxiety. But today I felt quite anxious and went out by myself, and later met some acquaintances, which helped. And I got a bit...

    I had a chat with an old friend and told him what's going on. It helped a bit, but not hugely. And we're going out for a few drinks tomorrow night (probably beers!). I also "read" an audiobook on anxiety from the NHS. Plus I went to the local library, and they have an "ageing well" drop-in...

    I've lost 0.6 lbs this week, which surprising considering I've had more ready meals and alcohol lately. Strange.

    Thanks for the links and info you have posted; I'll take a look. I have some chicken in the freezer so may make up a curry later. I know what you are saying, @JoKalsbeek, and I will try talking to a friend. I did sleep a bit longer this morning so am feeling a bit brighter today.

    This isn't really shifting. I had a call with the GP today, and he gave me a couple of links, and signed me off for a week. I know what I need to do, but can't sort of summon the courage to do it. It seems like there are so many barriers. The one big thing for me is the waking up early...
