I had this haircut until I was about 16. I feel targeted.

I don’t care if it makes me a basic bitch, this is the first PSL of the season!

Enjoying a coffee in the garden and there’s still an amazing, summery scent coming off the lavender…

Even my dermatologist only manages to shave 15 minutes off my natural age when I go for a facial!
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
It actually wasn’t a tingly one but quite a ‘gritty’ one, I guess for exfoliation.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
No, I’d not done one in ages. Not sure I’d use this particular mask again, but maybe another kind.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social)
Well, the diet isn’t going great so far. I’ve gained 3lbs.

TBF, I am not drinking at the moment anyway. I'm just pondering if I can as my sisters will be coming round for drink at some point.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
I won't be drinking excessively, but might have a glass of wine or two when my sisters come over. I just wanted to know if it was safe to do or if it was an absolute no-no.

If anyone here is taking Mounjaro (or equivalent): Do you still drink alcohol? Does it make you poorly if you do?
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social)
And in the year of Our Lord, 2025, it came to pass that Gloria Gaynor did cancel herself…

First Mounjaro shot taken. Everyone think skinny thoughts.

I hate being on diets. I'd forgotten how frustrating trying to control your cravings can be.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh, my mistake. I'd posted about something else, got confused as to what you were replying to.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
I loved watching it each week as a child. It's always remained a favourite. I need to re-read the books.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
My big problem is that I’ve always had a tendency to snack or have a glass of wine if I’m peckish. Need to stop that.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
Oooh, mint tea! I hadn’t thought of that but I have some!

Watched Sinners tonight... did anyone else find it to just be a confusing mess of a movie? It felt like it didn't know what kind of film it was aiming to be.

With all due respect, you know nothing about me, my weight, my eating or dietary habits, or my rationale for taking them.

Mourjano injections have been prescribed. Now to get back on the diet and back to the gym routine.

Back home. Wine. Hope And Glory on. Perfect way to enjoy a bank holiday in my book.

I’ve come home from the beach to the smell of the neighbour’s barbecue and I could not be more jealous.

First time drinking Tej (Ethiopian honey wine). It’s delicious… it’s sweet, but not sickly, and has a kind of aromatic/herbal after taste. Delicious!! And it comes in this cute little flask.

Going out for dinner tonight. And then for some drinks. Fancy.

The Star Wars sequels are better than the original trilogy IMHO. I said what I said.

It turned into a total non-event. They let him walk away! *sigh*

It looked like the bloke was shoving the female PCSO, but then the male officer stepped in and stopped it. He was in handcuffs for a bit, but now they just appear to be talking. I recognise the bloke from my local chippy - but don’t know much about him.

I'm not usually a curtain twitcher, but it's all kicked off outside my house between the police and some random fella...

Anyone want to come muck out the hens for me? No?

They were all fab. I wish I had enough money to bid on one of them!

Oh! I thought last time it was free. I just remember going to Cribbs and seeing them all there!
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, they do that before the auction - but I think it might be a ticketed event this time for some reason.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s something they do in and around Bristol every few years. I think it ends at the end of August.

I already feel perfectly fine, thank you! I just now know that my migraines might cause me some weird additional symptoms! :)
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
My migraines always come on at random without an obvious trigger, so I can’t predict when it might happen again but at least I know if I have these weird symptoms again it’s unlikely to be a stroke!
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social)
In the last 24 hours I’ve had a CT, MRI, ultrasound, and an ECG. I’m going to glow in the dark tonight…
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social)
The doctors have given me the all clear! No stroke detected. Apparently I’ve started having weird migraines which cause similar symptoms to a stroke. Thank God for that! Pass the wine…
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
So far my biggest upset is that I'm not allowed to drive until after my consultation. I feel absolutely fine today; I'm hoping they're going to tell me it's connected to my migraines and that my brain just misfired.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social)
Today I have to have an MRI and something called a Doppler Scan(?) before my consultation. This is all happening very fast.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social)
That was quick. Have been booked in for an MRI and further tests today.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
No they didn’t. And I wouldn’t let them do that to me if they tried! lol
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah: it’s just a blood thinner just in case.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
I feel perfectly fine now. The symptoms have all gone. I think they’re just treating me this way as a precaution!
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
I’ll be fine!
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
In theory they should see me in the next 5 days, so hopefully shouldn’t be too long I’m off the road for! They’re just treating me with Aspirin.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
Already been discharged. I have to go back for an appointment at a clinic though. And I can’t drive til I’ve been seen by the clinic! Damn them!
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
The doctor I saw today was very dishy actually!
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social)
Well, I’m being treated as if I’ve had a mini-stroke but that’s more precautionary than confirmed. Have to attend a clinic to rule it out. Nothing to report on the CT scan.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social)
Being sent to hospital to have some tests done. I’m gonna be there for hours, aren’t I!?
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
They’re sending an ambulance to my house but half expecting them to say they have to take me for a scan or something.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
An ambulance is now on its way after what I’ve told them!
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm going to give 111 a call and see what they say. I've just had some very odd neurological symptoms today, some of which line up with a mild stroke... I'm just not looking forward to spending hours sat in A&E - assuming that's even where they send me.
Andrew (@mradknight.bsky.social)
Had some mild stroke-like symptoms today and trying to decide if I should go to hospital or if I am just tired.

Other than “I think I’ll try defying gravity…” I don’t think she was thinking that much.
