No dig diary, 7th July 2026
I’m amazed so many of these even make it as far as the kitchen to be honest. I love them straight off the plant and out of the pod 😀 I’m going to have to look into the possibility of … Continue reading
Down and down and down it goes
And where it stops, nobody knows… This is actually morning, early afternoon, late afternoon. When I go back to see the GP on Friday I’m going to have to ask why there appears to be an inverse correlation between BP … Continue reading
Memory like a, err…

Today it occurred to me that I could get my own back on the squirrels who have had pretty much every walnut that has ever appeared on my tree by picking them early and pickling them, as I believe they … Continue reading
A waste of a day
I’ve really no idea what was going on here. This is my first full day on the Ramipril (still with Lacidipine, too). I felt absolutely wiped out and hardly managed to do anything. Morning reading. Unexpectedly low compared with previously, … Continue reading
