Today started with a visit to me GP. Just over 3 months ago he recommended that I start taking a tablet (one a day) to control my cholesterol level. After 3 months I went back to the phlebotomist to have some more blood taken to check the levels again. (See Check ups posted on 8th Feb 2011) For a number of years my cholesterol level has been between 5.6 and 6.4 so I was hoping for an improvement. The thing is that the year previous to this I had been really strict on what I was eating in order to try to keep the level down and after a whole year it hadn't changed . I was gutted to say the least. So today was the day I had the appointment with the GP to see what the result was. I was hoping but remembered that in the previous 3 months we had Christmas (with all the chocolates and extras), New Year and then my 70th birthday celebrations. Today I was told that in the past 3 months my cholesterol level had gone down to 4.2 . Wow! Was I pleased! - and that's without being so strict about my diet.

What a difference a small tablet can make.

When I got back home, the load I had left in the washing machine was done and so I hung them outside. We have had a lovely sunny day here today. Another good job done. I was on a roll so then I tackled a job that I had been putting off as I had never done anything like it before. There were a few spaces between the bricks of the house that could do with a bit of repair to the pointing. About a month ago I had bought a bag of mortar mix for just such a job but with all the wet weather I hadn't got round to doing it. At least that's my excuse.

But it's amazing the difference a bit of sunshine makes. So I set to and mixed the mortar and applied it to the wall. Not a professional job by any means but not bad I thought for a novice. You're never too old to learn.

Some of the repaired pointing.

All in all I've had a very productive day. Hopefully this evening I'll settle down to watch TV - and no doubt quietly drift off into dreamland in my recliner.
