I organised insulation and aircon for house. Ordered all whitegoods. eventually worked out how to use smart tv, so watch free things on there plus subscribe to things occasionally or buy movies like Cross of Iron,watched Pulp fiction also Elementary eps recently

Got health issues over last 5 or so yearsso that can limit physical pursuits ( I have to get my head around that as just had new heart procedure after 3 unsuccessful goes at a more basic one 2 years ago. Seems to have worked so far , so good. might have to try walking and pushbike again. I go to exercise physio I'll call that an interest , because I chose it and I arranged it, and I am the one who goes there. Same as psych lol. I jagged DVA funding so its free,same as gym. I was in Army in early 80s when should have been partying lol. missed 3 best years of life told myself recently by removing myself from friends and family

Have made a comfortable little nest here. Still like driving to Adelaide (200ks) or interstate, but nothing like I used to when in WA, one year did 4 trips return trips to SA

2 years ago Idrove to Broken Hill on a whim. amazing scenery on the way, loits things to look at there.

..Alternate Answer .. I watch tv ..lol

My blood pressure is weird because I also have low salt levels @SmilingGecko . I take salt tabs. One time my salt was so low my GP rang me and told me to go straight to emergency dept. they saw me really quickly and kept me in overnight but no explanation. I’m a walking mystery. Still waiting for pay but it usually comes on the day so I’m expecting it to show up soon.

fair enough @SmilingGecko just come over a bit ill here going to do BP etc

Thats really unusual with your salt deficiency and high bp @GezzaP You must be feeling like youre sitting on a ticking timebomb with your conundrum. Mine is pretty much the same. I only eat healthy fat but restrict that even.

Good Luck @GezzaP I have $24 in bank now after paying bill had forgotten think money in bank friday and I already topped atm account up a couple times. Not sure what am spending it on. Am barely going to shop, not getting alcohol, dunno. guess buying too many lottery tickets again lol

oh. I ust downloaded copy of Libs disection of their last election efforts from Crikey 64 pages, went straight to conclusion .. they blame Duton lol

I hope you are ok @TAB ❤️

BP bit high ,could feel it in real time @SmilingGecko ok only took meds hour ago as forgot to take this morning.

Will drink water (havent been) and try again in couple hours.It's still my normal reading over last few years, but it had been perfect ie lower over last few weeks.

thanks @Meowmy take it easy.well done re work

I just got paid at last @TAB . Texted friend to see if he wants to go to pub for his birthday drinks. Hope you are ok. My bp was high again today. Got an appt to redo test I already had a few years ago. They didn’t find anything last time.
