lnr Some things:
- I ran out of instant, and had to make real coffee in the cafetiere. It was quite nice actually, but not enough nicer than the instant
- good day at work, good week actually, tidying up loose ends before we go on holiday
- tomorrow we go on holiday! Off to Northumberland with all the family to stay in a big holiday cottage practically on the beach at Beadnell. Hopefully catch up with some friends on Wednesday too
- I have had a horrid cough. I'm still coughing, but it's getting better. Sadly Mike has now started too, plus a migraine on top. Hopefully he feels better tomorrow. Covid tests (I've done about 4) all negative, but will test again tomorrow morning too.
- have printed out my eTickets for the train as a backup in case my phone runs out of battery. This doesn't feel very much like the future :)
- I am *this* close to quitting Twitter now. Just waiting on my data being ready to download first. I fear I may be some time.
- oh and I paid Thriva for a blood test kit. I've been dieting with the NHS "Healthy You" online plan for 12 weeks, I'm down about 8 or 9kg and eating better in general in that time too. Seemed a good opportunity to get a hba1c test and see if it's improved my blood sugar levels (last one was November). Damned test bruised 3 fingers, and then apparently one of the samples didn't clot so I'm going to have to do that one again tomorrow. Thankfully it's the smaller one!
