Two hospital appointments today. One took blood, the other took poo.


It’s a very pleasant sunny afternoon out here. Currently 61°


A long black at one of my favourite indie coffee shops. I am a bus ride away, but as I was going past on a bus this morning, it would have been rude not to swing by.


A nice healthy snack to go with the beer. Home grown tomatoes and basil with mozzarella and a drizzle of olive oil. #food


About to enjoy a Leffe Brune in the evening sunshine after a little gardening #beer


Jobs At Home

Two jobs done today. 1. Mowed the lawn. It was a bit overdue, and leaving it longer only makes the job harder. 2. Moving a two-seater recliner from one room to another. It entailed emptying and moving a bookcase in one room and taking the door off the second room. It was darn heavy, but I got it done


Monday morning 5.35 am. Wide awake. I’m on leave and don’t need to be alert at this hour

Sunday morning. Coffee time.


Just reading the blood test results from yesterday. Seems I have an underactive thyroid. I’m waiting for an operation to remove nodules, anyway, which are common. I’ve had a PET scan, which was clear. I have no apparent symptoms. #medical


Starting the day off with some photo editing (and coffee, of course!), from yesterday’s short photowalk from Paddington to Kensington


Another day done. How was your day? Hospital, beer, burger and Fabians was mine.


Went to five guys for food. I’m not a fast food fan at the best of times but they’re better than other chains. Expensive though! Bacon cheeseburger, fries and a Corona was just under £25, for one!


The Lizzie Line seems to be running well this afternoon. Just missed a train but only waited three minutes for the next one and not overloaded either.


Well, it’s a visit to the hospital today for a follow-up appointment for my DVT earlier this year


For playing music, my default player is Pine Player Pro. However, one thing is missing that Elmedia Player has, and that is native DLNA capability. Elmedia has one thing missing, and that is DSD playback. #audio


Never had too much #coffee


I need more coffee. Kitchen, here I come! #coffee


Listening to a bit of old-time mellow jazz this morning. Anita O’Day. In glorious mono too. It’s still a fine recording. #music


It’s still officially summer for a few more days, but, except for the temperature, it feels like a winter day out there. Overcast, damp, dreary, windy, unwelcoming. I already miss the sunshine. I think I suffer from S.A.D.
