Meditation. I'm going to get the meditation going again. Does restarting something lapsed count? I'm going to get down to Swansea and give Wing Chun Kung Fu a try. Meditation can be done everyday but the Kung Fu is an hours drive away and only on twice a week, so I'll try that as often as possible.

I've had today's newt forced upon me. First-ever meeting with paramedics about two patients of the practice who are always dialling 999 and claiming to be in severe pain to get morphine.

And first cup of a new-to-me brand of coffee capsule this morning. I know the Nespresso machine should be exiled to the cupboard, but I haven't physically put it away yet.

Everything else is still on track, and I survived my animal-free day yesterday. It was mundane.

Well done everybody so far.

I've just remembered 'Newt of the Day' from last year.

I'll kick it off with picking .B. and her kettlebell PeeB. I wanted to choose V-rap for many reasons but her Newts - although valid and good - 'do' involve a degree of giving up and a PeeB is a PeeB.

So .B. - the pickee becomes the picker... you get to choose today's Best Newt.

Don't forget!

I might struggle today. That's not on only one day in!

I was going to cook a new Cuban dish but can't get one or two key ingredients 'til this affie and time is short, so that one might have to be tomorrow.

Help!

New Cuban dish with new-to-the-recipe ingredient variations? ;)

I've filled in an evaluation sheet for the way a local residential home treats its visiting doctors. This is a new thing for me.

There was a box to tick about whether or not we were offered "hospitality". I made a free text comment to the effect that I don't want tea and cake when I visit, but I'd quite like to get a parking space.

I have begun enhancing my knowledge of popular music by listening to lots of old albums I ought to have heard but haven't.

Just come across this thread :) On Tuesday I found out that the brakes on my car are more or less b*ggered so yesterday was my first day of driving very conservatively, allowing bags of slowing down space and actually changing down gears to slow down. Today I drove a new way to work which is basically further, but a lot less hilly and bendy to preserve what's left of my brakes.

I promise the rest of the month will not be car related!

Met a couple of new people at a retirement presentation just now (not mine. Sadly). One of them told me I was 'brave' for moving into an old house. I'm so pleased we met 🙄.
