Yesterday - Rain rain go away....
Today was better we had snow. At least we had some sun!
I realised with some dismay that I have not been having my daily glass of wine so I put a stop to that!! I usually have 125 ml, today I needed to make up for lost time so pushed the boat out with a big fat 150ml :D :D and feeling ever so slightly squiffy now. Sometimes it's good being an economical model to run.
I read today that the vitamin K in leafy green veg can interfere with blood thinning medication. Whoops! With the amount I eat it could make a difference. That said I bruise SO easily it's perhaps a good job I am eating plenty or I'd end up with a brain haemorrhage..... I am half way through the DAPT, all downhill now. Yay!!
The cardiac nurses are so pleased with my progress they say I can go to gym without them needing to be there. That might be good, though gym is 25 minutes drive away and I'm not sure it's a good use of time for a one hour session including warm up and cool down time. We shall see how the home exercises pan out. There is no social, everyone is pounding away at their own 'thing', so unless I make a buddy and we hang out after it's a dubious exercise. I dunno. I do like the post workout feel good buzz. A coffee afterwords may undo all the work?
We went to a new venue for the DC today. A big wind turbine is going up on the hill top across the valley from us. 500 MWh, so a biggy, especially for round here. It's awesome, we went to visit it and walk past along the ridge. Bloomin' cold up there, we forget how sheltered our 700' above sea level really is, even in the face of the prevailing wind, and we are not called 'Windy Hill' for nothing! I love those turbines, they are so graceful. We all need to be more aware of the true cost of using electricity, and I am not talking money. If people don't want the turbines, they always have the option to use less electricity...
Bottom line, cheerful with more killers going in, not cold, happy and yup, some number of sheets to the wind ;) I shall sleep well tonight!
Hurrah for red wine :D Will I get fatter? Nah.

Glad to hear you are feeling good! Those big wind turbines certainly are impressive, and they're doing a good job. I didn't realise you had a heart problem. What happened? And I also would doubt that it's worth driving 25 minutes each way to go to a gym - it would be better to spend that time walking, unless it's raining too heavily, of course!

The rain - that's been the problem, it's rained almost non stop for the last three months, and heavy rain at that. That's miserable, and the boys worry if I go on my own in the rain, especially after my fall in October, so I have to take one with me, even though they slow me down. Sigh. Going out is bad enough, in the rain with complaining slowcoaches??? Nah, not my idea of fun. I usually combine the gym with the weekly shop so it's not all bad.
Heart? Stents in the LAD> I am a conundrum for my cardiologist.
I suppose someone has to be :)

That kind of weather is indeed very depressing. Thank goodness for stents! You must have had a rough time, but it sounds like you're firing on all cylinders now?

I too am a fan of wind turbines. Better than pylons, and we have a million of them in Scotland, with little complaints.

A million pylons, not wind turbines! Mind you, if they built a million wind turbines off the west coast of the UK it would soak up all the wind energy, and we would get lovely balmy days!!

A million turbines off the West coast - now we are talking :D
Where in Scotland are you JockoT?
Heidi - yes, pretty much firing on all cylinders, but I was anyway until they put me on beta blockers..... that's when the fun started.

I was talking to the boys yesterday as we drove out - if telegraph poles and pylons were non existent and it was suggested they went up all over the place, and all over the country, by the sides of all the roads and criss-crossing the roads with their looping cables to cut corners..... Well, I wonder what sort of an outcry their would be. HUGE. It would never get accepted. We don't like change but we get used to it and the benefits of wind turbines are monumental. It won't be long before they are plentiful and accepted and possibly even honoured. There we go.
