6.8 still trying to keep within the boundaries I set for myself but it is becoming harder. Depression, anxiety, poor health are all playing their part. Also lack of encouragement from anyone in the medical profession over the years finally got to me a couple of years ago and I now struggle with motivation. I do stick in but without much enthusiasm. I definitely need to get my mojo back. However as someone has already pointed SPRING has finally come - new growth is starting and the weather is (hopefully) getting warmer. I always start to feel brighter in the spring.

Hope you all have a lovely day. :)

Morning All 7.7 today but 8.4 yesterday (likely due to Marmite & Cheese flavoured oatcakes as snack the evening before. @flonvic hugs for that awful hand pain in the night, hope you can find a way to ease it, sounds horrible. @Ryhia I so empathise with you, with other conditions inc depression and trying to do your best and not always (seldom me) getting the reward. But as I always say all we can do is keep chipping away at this and hope for the best (note to self). Hugs to anyone who needs one.

Five point three this morning on the contour next

Wine yesterday lunch time with short ribs may make this number academical

I’m told, and currently believe that the body works on removing alcohol before it goes to work on other things

I do know I had a nice afternoon snooze

Hey ho on with Sunday

Have a good day if you possibly can

7.2 no pies, just cakes, scones and hot cross buns. Morning reading reasonable but it has been double that at times during the day which is not good. However, going home today so leaving temptations and misguided kindness behind.

Oh I did! At the high school I went to there was a room with a row of handbasins and lots of coat racks. On the door it said 'Ablutions'. I had never heard the word either. That was 75 years ago so it's not a new word.

9.4 now you know it was me who ate all the pies!
