Well I did 5.2 miles on the bike yesterday and I'm not suffering today. Brill. Almost at the 8 mile goal which is what I used to do. Hehe.
Oh wow, I just saw this! Fantastic! Well done you! You are well over the half way mark now and on your way to that target goal. Keep going steadily! Great progress! 😉

Hi Samana

Sounds like you had a busy day! Yes it does affect my mood as I don't really do much in the day. I used to be so active, so it's a lot to lose, but fingers crossed for the exercise and diet 🙂

It was cool here yesterday, but quite a strong wind so I didn't go out for a ride. Cycling against the wind is no fun lol.

It sounds like your stones are going well. Do post them up if you can so we can all see them. Thye are lovely too see! Yes I think you did post up the feather dotted one. Very nice.

My stepdaughter (Vicki) is getting married in 2024 as I'm sure you know, you have to plan well ahead with weddings! Something to look forward to 🙂

My wife does the edges as I find it very tedious. I'm much better with the roller covering large surfaces so like you, between us we have it sussed.

You both have a great day too. It rained her last night and it's nice and cool. Good!


Cheers

Thanks for that. I did suffer a bit later in the day lol which happens each time I increase it, but I'll get used to it in time I'm sure 🙂 I just ordered a bum bag so I can take my phone and vape with me on the rides.

Hi Steve,
Yes it was very busy yesterday. I'm just catching up on messages...

What would make your mood improve do you think? I was thinking about it last night and wondering, what would motivate you and make you feel better? Is there something missing? You're doing great things towards diet, weight and now your new project with the water system etc... what else would create that spark?

Good that you didn't cycle in the wind, that doesn't sound much like fun at all. There are always other days. Today is much calmer and sunnier.

Ahh I wasn't sure about the feather one... okay there will be a couple posted in the next day or two 😉 Thank you! I have tried some new techniques and brush strokes and getting used to new ways and made some mistakes but I'm totally fine with it. It's all about learning how to do it differently next time. I need a couple more brushes over time too.

Aaw that's lovely, plenty of time for Vikki to plan things and get ready for her big day. It will be a magical day! 😉

It's teamwork and sounds like you both work well with the decorating too! Yes it all works out well, plus I have more patience hahaha.

The temperatures here today are nice and cool even though it's sunny, which is very nice I have to say!

Have a lovely evening, I'm not sure if you have sent me another message I have another notification, I'll check Sam

Hi again!
You did very well though, yes just take it steady! Great idea! Very handy to take your bits and pieces. Your getting properly set up now! Great stuff! Hope you are feeling a bit less achy now.

All the best

Hi Samana

yes, now I'm up to 5 miles, I'm going to cycle every other day to get soem rest and recovery in. We're off to Brum to see the opening ceremony so I won't be able to post up for a couple of days.

Keep Smilin'

Good morning Steve,
That's brilliant! That's a great plan, it gives the muscles a rest and time to recover too.

That's fine, have a wonderful time at the opening ceremony. What is that of? Have a lovely couple of days.

Take care both of you

Hi Steve
Just checking in to see how you are doing?

Are you back from your opening ceremony yet. I suddenly realised what it was hahaha. I bet it was spectacular! you can tell me all about it if you want. I did my weigh in on Sunday morning and found I had lost 2lbs. So the 1lb I had been working on turned into two! I was very happy!

I had my Hba1c done on Monday too, so will get my results at the end of the week.

Long story around the neurologist but want to get all my facts before I share it. Not good!

I'm busy trying out new ways with my pebbles. I'll post some in the coming week.

I'll be offline tomorrow as I'm out for the day as it would have been my mum's birthday so spending time at her grave and got a special pebble for her too.

Hope you are both well, have a lovely day

Hi Samana

We got back un Sunday. The opening ceremony was excellent! Very well planned. They had a massive automaton of the bull which must have been 30 feet high. Lots of fireworks and good music Lenny Henry was there as was Prince Charles and Chamilla.
The food and drinks were very expensive, but we at and drank before going in so that was good.
Next we went up to Nottingam to see my stepson, Tom and his partner. We did a chippy tea one night, a curry the next night and had a cooked brekky and I've put on 3 lbs lol. Back to the grindstone

Well done for losing 2lbs! I'm jealous 🙂 When you can, let me know about the neurologist, but not if you don't want to share. Bets of luck with your pebbles and yes, please post them up when they are done. It's lovely you're taking a pebble to your mom's grave. I'm sure she will be looking down on it and will be pleased.

We're all well thanks and I trust you both are too?

Cheers

Steve

Hi Steve,
Ooh wow! Sounds like you have an amazing time! Oh yes the Bull! That must have looked impressive. Wouldn't have been complete without Lenny Henry. Sounds wonderful, plus royalty of course.
Good you ate and drank before you went in. Yes some of these events take a bit of an advantage of monopolising on the costs of the food and drink once inside. Hahaha, sounds like you really enjoyed living in the moment though and your meals. Life is about enjoying too! So great you took time to have what you enjoyed and now back to it. I was the same on Sunday after weighing myself, I had a day off and had a glass of wine and some small light meals of tortillas and cheese and then chorizo and onion and tomato with home made bread from the maker. It was a lovely day and was offline too. Lovely that you had the opportunity to travel to see your stepson and his partner. Sounds really great!

Well I'm quite disappointed it seems about the neurologist... I hope I explain this clearly... a few weeks ago with my headaches getting worse and me being in a darker place I told the doctor I didn't want to carry on living like this, not suicidal or anything just it was too much! I was in pain all the time and nothing was easing it. Plus feeling sick... she gave me anti sickness meds which have helped and said she would write to the neurologist who she had already referred me to several months go and try to speed things up... several weeks later I had to go back regarding other things, I remember asking her if she had written the letter to the neurologist and she said she had. Anyway, I left it a couple of weeks and decided to see where I was on the neurologist list now... I gave the neuro-hospital a call and they said that they hadn't had a letter recently! I said my GP had sent on... they said there is nothing new on the system since the original referral. So straight away I called the surgery and asked and got a text back from the co-ordinator saying that they had asked the GP to stop sending expedited letters as they have been getting inundated with them from everywhere. The surgery said I could call the neuro-hospital and chase it myself if I wanted... so I did... they said that there was no such request in place and the adviser checked with her manager and her manager's manager and nothing had been put in place... they said for the surgery to get directly in touch with them... I left a message for the co-ordinator to get in touch with me... she said she tried (written in a text) but no missed call and was sitting next to my mobile and the home phone didn't wring either and that she has passed my message onto the GP and awaiting her response now... I haven't given the co-ordinator the full phone number and details as haven't had the opportunity and not sure why the original letter didn't go? I do however have a GP appt in a couple of weeks so will see what happens then. This GP has been brilliant so not sure what's going on currently but intend to find out.

I'm very pleased with the simple flower I've painted for mum. She will love it and be looking down on me yes. I'll post it. I've not painted flowers but pleased how this one came together. It's called a Bleeding Heart, mum loved this flower, I bought her this in the past.

Great that you are both good. Yes we are fine thank you and looking forward to tomorrow, it may well be very emotional though, but all good!

Have a lovely rest of day 🙂

Samana

Hi Samana

Communication in the NHS is so poor. You must be very frustrated, particularly if you are feeling rough with the headaches. When you're at your lowest, you have to jump through so many hoops it's ridiculous! I do wish you luck with it but I'm sure with your determination you can get to the bottom of it.

Yes the Opening Cermony was mind blowing. The Red Arrows did a fly past right over out heads. I didn't see the planes, just he coloured smoke trails.

The stone is amazing! You have some real talent there! Much better than my artistic skill of a small ant. I'm jealous lol.

After some thought I've decided to go for a meds review with the psychiatrist and see if that helps. I was hanging on to see if exercise and diet would help, but my mood does feel quite low so see what they say. I've got a callback from the GP this afternoon to get referred so hopefully it won't take too long.

I've not been on a bike ride since we got back so I must go today and get back in the routine. I found an old hi-viz vest in the cupboard so will wear that for extra safety.

Keep banging those stones out!

Cheers

Steve

Good morning Steve,
Yes I am very frustrated with the communication in the NHS, it could be so much better. I am aiming to take the information I have with me to my GP appointment in a couple of weeks in case it's any use by then. Yes having to chase things and get over hurdles with phone calls and different people is very challenging when you feel rough all the time. I will get to the bottom of it sooner or later. I hope my GP isn't the one who is lying as she is the one who has been so good throughout and helped me so much, I find it hard to believe that she would lie. She has forgotten to book a test before but we are all human and she has loads to remember, but this time she had said twice about writing and said she had.

Wow, the Ceremony sounds amazing! So wonderful that you were part of it, you will always have that incredible memory and the Red Arrows too! I love them they are fantastic! They have such amazing skills, so pleased you enjoyed it all. They are so quick as well they are here and they are gone again! Fantastic experience for both of you. We have had them here in Wales in the past at the air shows and even if we are at home you can see them separating and flying towards the hills and re-forming and it's so exciting and breath-taking to watch.

Hahaha, thank you! I did love the pebble as it was a special flower that mum loved and it just came to me to create a pebble with that on. I kept it simple and it was a magical day yesterday filled with emotion but very special. I showed hubby where I used to live as a child too, he had never seen the area I grew up in. Plus some place me and mum visited that she loved locally and spent time reminiscing which was really lovely. Very special.

It took it's toll on me yesterday with the travelling and everything. I had several breaks on the way back but nothing would ease the headaches and shoulder and neck pain so today I'm going to do what I need to with bits of shopping this morning then rest. I'm so glad we did it though yesterday, it meant so much to me and would have to mum too.

Good idea to go for a meds review if you think that will help you. That's great that things are in process for you, hopefully you will get an appointment soon. Can you do little things you enjoy to lift your mood? I know that can be difficult at times, just a thought. I've been there so I understand.

Yes a bike ride sounds good, did you manage to get out yesterday? Yes the more visible the better!

I hear there is a hosepipe ban in your area now? Does that affect you much? It would me as I can't carry the watering cans, but not here currently. We've had quite a bit of rain on and off in the last few days, especially through the night.

I'll be posting some of my recent creations I had a dabble with, not my finest but I tried something new... I'm just finishing them and will post them next time.

Going to get ready for shopping then I shall rest today. Have a wonderful day what ever you are doing

Have fun

Samana
 
Hi Samana

Yes it's very frustrating when you're chasing when you are at a low ebb yourself. They don't make it easy for you! I'm sure you'll get there as you are well motivated to do so.
The ceremony was amazing and we will remember it forever. Got some good photies too 🙂

Sorry you've had a rough trip. I hope the headaches and pain are less today. Yes sounds like a rest day is in order.

I was banking on the exercise and diet to improve things, but think a meds review is in order. I did have low folic acid and hoped that would be an easy fix. The folic acid levels ar fine now, but no improvement so time to cast a wider net I think. Irritatingly, what I do doesn't really affect my mood. It seems to march on regardless of what happens in th world. I do get a buzz though when I beat my previous mileage on the bike 🙂

No I didn't manage to get out yesterday. I'd like to go today although hopefully it will be cooler later. It's very humid here today and I don't want to sweat one out.

I think the hosepipe ban starts on Friday. Here in the southeast we've had very little rain.

I hope you feel better soon. Get some rest in!

Cheers

Steve

Good evening Steve,
That's right they don't make it easy, not that I'm a woe is me kind of person, but it does take it out of you when you're not well. I will get there in time. I'll update you as it progresses. Ooh apparently, there was a 35 week waiting list to see the neurologist... so far I've got through 19 weeks so 16 to go, but that could go up or down she said depending on what they get coming in... so who knows. So an expedited letter might help, we will see if I can get one.

Oooh good photies eh? Can you share any on here or anywhere I can see? I bet the opening celebrations were really exciting and the atmosphere was incredible! Yes you will always have those beautiful memories.😉

I've had an easy day after shopping for food. It's only slightly eased so may be another rest day if needed tomorrow, will see how I feel after a night's sleep, the pain kept me awake last night, so hope I might get a better night tonight. It will ease, it's just time and eventually some surgery and a neurologist to shed some light.

Yes good you are following up with your mood levels and seeing what can be done to boost them. It could just be you are lacking in some kind of nutrient maybe even. It can be difficult to find which one. Yes that's what I was meaning, I know that you get a buzz from increasing your mileage on your bike, it's finding things that make you feel alive kind of, does that make sense? It kind of fires you up! It can be the little things that do that.

Yes it's quite warm here too, best to go when it's cooler. Let me know how you get on. It will happen, this is the hottest time of the year, so it can be challenging and more sensible not to go.

Ahh right, the hosepipe ban starts Friday, will it affect you much? I use it to water my pots. Even here eventually they say we might have a ban despite us getting rain. We as a country could be filtering our own water for washing from the sea, we have the machinery that cost millions and no one knows how to use it, it's been there for 12 years in London and no one is using it! What a waste!

Thank you! I was hoping to put base coats on my pebbles today but just felt too tired. I just thought I would message before I settle and watch something quietly for a while before settling. I tend to watch old films and have them on very quiet when like this, it's almost like a comfort.

Hope you are feeling more uplifted soon, I wish there was something I could say to help you.

Have a lovely evening what ever you are doing

Samana
 
Hi Samana

Gosh a 35 week waiting list! I hope it's less for you. I'm off to Essex this morning to pick up my daughter, Hannah and her partner and bring them home for a few weeks in the Uni break. I'll try and post up some photos later.
I hope your headache has improved today. It must be so debilitaing for you. You do well to cope with it, managing your activity and rest periods.
I don 't think we are included in the ban - I saw a map and we weren't included but we won't use one anyway as it all must help. When I shower, I was my hair and face, turn the shower off, soap up then rinse off, saving water and gas lol.

It's good you have a way to relax watching old films. Films are my favourite I like to watch at least 1 a day.

Thanks for your kind offer, but I'll get there it may take some time but I will arrive so I'll just keep plodding on.

That's all for now s I have to shower and hit the road. I'll try and post some photies up later.

Have a good day

Cheers

Steve

Good morning Steve,
Yes 35 week and that is standard as I'm from Wales it seems hahaha. Ooh lovely, sounds like you will have a nice few weeks together with your daughter and her partner. Enjoy! Nice drive out for you too!

I look forward to seeing your pics, in your own time, no rush.

When I woke the headache seemed lighter but has got heavier again so resting and just taking my time with everything. Yes it is debilitating. I'm doing me best but do need to rest too. I have managed to paint the base coat on my next pebbles and just emailed myself my latest pic of the last three pebbles I've done so I can post them at the end of the message... not my greatest ones but trying out new ways of doing things and new designs etc that I was drawn too and were fun to try. You can let me know what you think the one on the right is hahaha.

Yes good idea! I keep my water usage to a minimum too both for energy saving and water saving too. It all helps in one way or another at the moment. I looked at new tariffs for saving on energy but think it's a bit of a minefield at the moment. I think it's a case of save what you can when you can.

Films are my go to... I even watch Hallmark easy going types too, they are very gentle films and you don't have to really pay attention too much so they kind of wash over you. Old ones are nicer though and funny films I like too.

Yes I'm sure you will arrive and things will improve for you, keep chipping away at it and you will get there.

No worries, you just enjoy your day and family time and post pics when you are ready, no rush, I'm here all week... well now and again hahaha! :rofl:

Have a fun time!

Samana

Hi Samana

I didn't post up yesterday or the day before as the journey to pick up Hannah was dire. The M2 was closed near Rochester so we we siphoned off to the side roads which were rammed. In the end I gave up when I saw a sign to the M20 and went back home. 6.5 hours drive and I didn't even get her! So we went again yesterday and the journey was OK. I'm stiff as a board today from all the sitting in the car so a bike ride later should loosen me up.

It's nice to have Hannah back home - seems like the old days.

I'll get the pics up later on today when I'm conscious again lol.

The pebbles are brill! I wish I had half of your talent! I like the hedgehog best 🙂

Sorry you're going through the mill with your headaches. I hope they subside soon but it sounds like you know what to do, getting rest when you can

My fave is science fiction films although some of them are rubbish. The Titan ws good as was The Knowing being a propellor-head I like them to be technically accurate. When someone says they have pulled the core out the computer and they're holding a Shreddie in their hands, it's a turn-off for me lol.

I'm just waiing for my appt with the trick cyclist (psychiatrist) now so hopefully the wait won't be too long but as you've experienced you never know!

I'll probably go for a ride at 6pm as it's quite hot here atm.

Enjoy your day!

Cheers

Good morning Steve,
Oh my goodness! Wow! Sounds like quite an ordeal! I can imagine, I have experienced that myself, it can be a nightmare and then not to have picked her up either! You are now paying the price physically! Will the bike ride help or is it best just to rest? You know your body best I know. Sometimes, some movement helps loosen you up, be careful not to overdo things.

Aaw yes it will be lovely to have Hannah home I'm sure. Lots of catching up to do and yes like the old days, you will notice how much she has grown up though.

Don't worry about the pictures, you look after yourself right now and feel better.

Hahaha, my hedgehog couldn't have been that bad you could tell what it was hahaha. He had 4 nose jobs to get him right hahaha. It's all good practice though, I'm loving it. The other two pebbles were more of a trial into something different, it was good to have a go at different designs.

The last couple of days I haven't done much as been too poorly. Since Wednesday I've really been feeling rough. My shoulders, neck and everything upwards all sore especially my head. I woke with a shocking headache this morning and have increased my meds and will see GP in about 10 days or so. Not good! Think I'm a bit stressed too but it's not all that. I'm resting a lot and watching very quiet films etc and doing bits and pieces to keep me distracted and moving about.

My HBa1c is 45 again. So no change in the last 3 months so will see what else I can do. Will carry on losing weight etc and taking the steps, it's early days yet so will keep on keeping on. I will weigh myself on 16th August and see where I'm at.

I like it that you like theme to be technically accurate. I like a variety of films... old black and white, comedy, some sci-fi, all sorts really... gentle films... things that just take my fancy... oooh and weather disaster films... I love them!

Yes let's hope you get seen soon by the psychiatrist and they will give you some answers which will help you.

It's warm here too... I've been waiting for warm sunny weather and I'm in the bedroom with the blinds 2/3 closed hahaha no hope! Hahaha! Enjoy your cycling when you go!

I'm having a lovely chill day, and practicing self care. I want to be well for my birthday week!

Have a lovely day all of you!😉

Hi Samana
I think the bike ride will help as I'm so stiff from sitting in the car. I'll let you know lol.

Personally, I like the 4th nose job. It does look like a hedgehog's nose lol.

Sorry you've been feeling so rough of late. I hope it improves soon. You hba1c is a work in progress and I'm sure if you keep on losing weight it will come down. It's not a sprint, but a marathon!

Enjoy your chill day and I hope it works well for you.

As discussed, I've attached some pics of the Commonwelath Games Opening Ceremony. I had to sort them a bit as I took about 100 shots. I'm a happy snapper lol.

Feel better soon. I'l be thinking of you and willing it!

Cheers

Steve
