Health MOT Day

Off I trotted this morning across Bruntsfield Links to present myself for my yearly health MOT. Blood was taken as well as BP and weight. I breathe slowly and deeply for the  BP and look away at the blood letting and the scales. It seems everything is fine and I’ve lost 2Kg since last year- another 10 Kg would be desirable but unlikely. There was the terrible temptation to celebrate with a massive bun but instead I bought blueberries and raspberries…. Oh and oranges! 

The sun made its first appearance in a few days and what a difference it makes to the work ethic or at least to the thought of it. Even the balconistes appeared and did some work which seemed to involve tearing down the plywood underneath  the balconies above me. As for me I did a little light sewing making a beach drying towel from the remnants of my beach robe.

The trees lining the path across Bruntsfield links were looking splendidly autumnal this morning and got the blip vote although my extra is of a box of Lion’s Mane mushrooms which I would find difficult to eat as they look like so many tiny Labrador puppies.
