Where did yesterday go? By the time I had sorted out workmen, been to the gym (substitute for regular yoga class), been and done a large supermarket shop, visited friends who invited us for a drink in thanks for looking after some friends of theirs, cooked dinner and done other sundry housework chores - it had all gone. And no writing done. I did get on the internet for a few minutes- enough to find another short story which may make a better adaptation for college than the one I have been fiddling with for weeks. I am going to start looking in more detail at that in a mo. No 1 son is pressurising me though as he wants to get on here to apply for another job - even though he has one offered and accepted and I think it would be all he would like except- and this is the big except- he doesnt think he can live on the money offered in London. He's probably right. But he has all these online tests to do , which take a while and that means I cant get on here. I keep meaning to go to PC world and ask about those wifi thingies so he could use his laptop....shall do that tomorrow perhaps- if I remember. I have other things to think about - like I have to go to the doctor cos my optician tells me I have high cholesterol...ooopppss.....I am instantly trying to cut down on fats- hoping I might lose a bit of weight too. I see the Adkins diet has been checked out as the most successful way to diet if you are a woman. Alas if you have high cholesterol I dont suppose stuffing your face with more fat/protein is a good way to go- unless someone can prove that it doesnt add to cholesterol.

I am amazed I suffer from this though- I dont eat chips, crisps, MacDonalds, fried food, I eat lots of fresh fruit and veg, muesli for brekkies, steamed veggies and so on. Its not a hereditary disease so far as I am aware..so what gives? I'll have to wait and see the doc. ho hum.

Right well better not put off the old writing. Have a three page radio dialogue to do too..... I wonder if stress causes high cholesterol?
