Mazlin Sep 2018 5:00pm, 6 Sep 2018 5,419 posts	0 Mazlin My dad (who is a retired maths teacher) has a home blood pressure monitor. He records the results on a spreadsheet and then takes the spreadsheet in to discuss with his GP, who I think is newly qualified and enthusiastic and probably didn’t know what he was letting himself in for by encouraging Dad to ‘keep a record’. Anyway, I’m going to the gym for my ‘lunchtime’ session.

Reading up about lifestyle changes I’m betting you are already physically active and have a decent diet! Still on the yoga train, I’m trying to finish a PhD chapter, keep 2 houses running, 4 people fed and clothed and training enough for my autumn races and doing trampoline classes so everything else is kind of waiting in the wings right now When I have this chapter done I want to move my compost heap though (lots of work) and also get the decorating started...

Sharkie Sep 2018 6:42pm, 6 Sep 2018 13,802 posts	0 Sharkie Same here Mrs. Jigs. ION... 4th daily half hour of Tidy-my-room has taken place. In the process I discovered five pairs of shoes I'd vaguely forgotten I have. Or at least forgotten whether they were buried here or in London. They were in boxes in bigger boxes (shoe boxes in Hunters welly boxes to be precise.) I'm not sure whether I am insane or just a money wasting idiot. 1 pair of (possibly) worn once high jump spikes 1 pair of (probably) NEVER worn javelin spikes 1 pair of (possibly) worn once shot put/discus shoes (these don't have spikes they have very flat bottoms oo-er missis.) Also an oldish but not worn out pair of MD spikes (the sort I use for winter training) Plus another slightly worn pair of sprint spikes that I think might be no good... It's the event specific shoes that make unsure whether - ahem - to laugh or cry. Both, I think.

(I find living in two places unsettling and time consuming - although I'm sure I agonise over it much more than you do. Even though I've been doing it for upwards of ten years. HELP!)
Raemond Sep 2018 7:08pm, 6 Sep 2018 827 posts	0 Raemond I accidentally made progress on project new job today - arranged to view a studio flat in Brussels on Monday afternoon. Also on Monday I going to try out the train connection from the nearest Belgian station to see how terrible it would be if I did have to commute daily (about two hours each way, so presumably pretty terrible, but would save me several hundred euros in rent)
