Stopped my anti-inflammatories last week as I try not to take them through the summer. The aches and pains I now have mean I’m going to take them through the summer after all….. Damn it!

Just completed the survey on the BBC. I’ve not been kind about their political bias.

It’s a day of April showers here in Norwich. A month late. It’s putting paid to my side of the battle of the ants where I intended to get outside and clear any debris where they’ve been nesting.

Right, up and at ‘em! 3 massage clients today, one who ran the London Marathon last week and might have a lot that needs working on…..

Whilst Reform winning more seats is disappointing, there is a positive. There’s more of them now to really cock up and make a hash of running things. There’s more chance of people waking up to how shite Reform are for the country. Keep the faith.

Finally seem to have found some new lightweight trousers for massaging in. Finding something that is moisture wicking and not too warm to wear has been like finding hens teeth!

When people talk to me about how lovely the weather is and I tell them it’ll be down to 11degC again on Sunday, they argue that the app I use is wrong. As I use 3 apps, and they all say the same, I’m pretty sure they’ll be cold and I’ll be toasty warm in my winter coat.

I am now setting about making some granola. I expect half of it to be gone before it gets to the storage tub 🤣 Also contemplated making protein bars for a road trip at weekend as healthy options, but as the recipes all seem to require chilling, and we’re in a ‘70’s car, I expect they will melt!

I have a scab on my nose. Sunburn on Sunday and hayfever (so wiping my nose frequently) are not a good combination. I am seriously contemplating putting nail varnish on it to seal and protect it….

Going to 2 new places today, with directions from different people that contradict each other. Anxiety about finding both locations, getting there on time etc. quite high. Didn’t sleep well as a result, so that helps 🤦‍♀️

We had Paxo low salt sage and onion stuffing this evening. Turns out you need salt in your stuffing. It even cooked differently. Hopefully that shopping mistake will never be made again…

The unwell cat has perked up, the heating is fixed and I’ve reached the weekend after a very, very busy 3 weeks of day job and massage. Helping a friend with some jobs on her motorhome today and have a home visit tomorrow. I think I need the quiet….

Sore back from a lot of standing yesterday. Hoped giving 2 massages would help ease it but it’s made it worse. Just have to hold on until Thursday when I get a massage…..

Kipper for breakfast. Hadn’t had kipper in years and was looking forward to it as remembered enjoying it. Bone stuck in throat on first mouthful. Cue bread, banana and water being my breakfast as the kipper going in the bin…

Heating won’t come on. 3 way valve is lit up like it should be working and the slider won’t move on it. Looks like I’m getting a heater out shortly…..

Debating whether I’m being too hard. A client cancelled their massage 10 minutes before the appointment because they “feel cold and might have a cold coming”. This was for 5pm. Booking app took the cancellation fee. Considering not refunding it as it was such short notice.

Hoping the optician calls today to say I can collect my new glasses as tomorrow is the only (tight) opportunity I’ll have to collect them for the next 2 weeks….. I don’t need them and the prescription is only a minor change in my lazy eye, but they’re so expensive I want them in my possession.

Heating’s gone wrong. Suspect diverter/actuator valve as radiators only get hot when hot water is also running. Can’t get engineer until Thursday as I’m in the office every day before but with Hive I can turn the hot water (and create heat) from my phone. At least it’s not the depths of winter.

Just realised that I’ve been running the refreshment stand for the motor racing club for 10 years, now starting my 11th. No wonder I’m fed up with that job 🤣

Impromptu lunch out with mum, who has a day off that I didn’t know about. All because I dropped some redirected mail to her house after my eye test. Which was fine, no sign of any detaching of retinas.

I’ve walked nearly 13k steps today - which is more than 4 times my normal level. Paying for it now with joint pain and inflammation, but good prep for the start of the motor racing season where I’ll be doing close to that in a day.

Some mail is joyful. Today was the day where joyful mail arrived. We have made our last mortgage payment. It has, at times, been quite painful, but we survived and without help from anyone else. Now to pay the credit cards off completely….

Well, waking up just before 5am wasn’t on my list of things to do, but I’ll be able to watch a bit of the partial eclipse, until the moon falls below the line of houses. No photos, the window cleaner hasn’t been yet this year and I’m not going out in the cold 🤣

Last night husband cooked. He prepared food that wasn’t high protein, high fibre, unprocessed and that the nutritionist wouldn’t have suggested. I have felt bloated, heavy and headachy all night. I have had a gastric reaction as well. Next time I will sort my own meal out….

Just pulled my top over my head and my earring popped off - with the butterfly back heading into my ear canal! Fortunately popped it back out again. Not ever done that in 40ish years of earring wearing and hoping not to do it again!

Some Karen on the local facebook page is complaining that a plane was doing practice takeoff/landing loops over Norwich this afternoon. Given I’d rather practice before I became a passenger on one, I’m pleased they do 🤣
