Well then. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren…
Grip

She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and…
I nearly did not write

Right. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision. New sharps bin, and a plan for what…
The list on the fridge
week 52steady energy 43 replies
Right. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had…
Laces

Well then. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Split a winter's wood in a weekend. Slept…

A new bin and a plan

She noticed first

Well then. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will…
Unpleasant, not dangerous

Right. Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I appreciated. Manageable.…
