    Hi ArcticFox. I’m glad you are feeling a bit brighter. Moving is a dreadful experience – I am so pleased that we have been able to stay in one place for almost 10 years. At one stage we moved 5 times in 4 years…
    Love the idea of your cheesecake. And I am seriously jealous of your plum tree. I honestly think it is the best fruit on the planet. My local source is a huge open air market and I haven’t dared to go since corona started. But perhaps it is time…..
    You mentioned dizziness when tipping your head back. Has it been properly diagnosed? It might be bpps/”top shelf syndrome”, which can be alleviated relatively easily with the Epley manoeuvre. I wouldn’t normally venture into a medical area, since I have no qualifications just experience of it, but I understand that it is often mis-diagnosed. Just might be worth asking your doctor about it.

    Hi everyone, another weekend over and done with. Not quite damage free but still the same weight as on Friday. Another week to sort my head out AGAIN. Hi to Wendy, lovely to meet you and your hubby. We don’t live close to each other, Wendy just happened to be holidaying near where I live so a great opportunity to meet a real live person from the site.
    Not much to say. We finally got some rain but not enough though forecast for more. Which means I am going to have to swim between showers and the weather is starting to cool down. Autumn has to arrive some day so I will have to get my YouTube videos dusted off before the end of the month.
    Have a good week everyone.

    Hi Caronl – yes I do have bppv, but it has been very difficult to resolve. I have it in both ears and the Epley manuver only relives it if my canaliths go into my posterior semi-circular canal. I have other manuvers that I have to do if they go into the horizontal or anterior canals, and they have gone everywhere which is really unusual! I even once had them go into my horizontal canal in my right ear and the posterior canal in my left ear at the same time which rendered me completely non-functional and took several appointments with my physio to resolve. My case is really complicated and so far it has been a 2 year process to try to get it sorted. It is coming along well and I just have some residual problems with my right ear at the moment. My ear specialist was really confused by it and thought it might actually be central vertigo, i.e. caused by my brain as a result of my head injury, rather than bppv, but my neurologist didn’t think so, but he sent me for the MRI just to be sure. I’m just waiting on the results now.

    Hello! Just wanted to say thanks to Jeremy Fisher. I cut bread out altogether and lost another two pounds this week so really pleased. I’ve talked my Mum into doing it too so I’m so pleased about that. Thanks everyone x

    Happyseaswimmer – Really glad to be able to help, and that things have moved forward well.

    I’ve just had half my lunch calories from a very big dollop of clotted cream. Low carb yes, but I’m now wondering if that was a good idea as I feel a bit sick!
