Two: courtyard

Two:

Still both feeling yuck, Tim home from work again. He had a horrible night, I think the cold is affecting his asthma which is usually well controlled. Hopefully we're on the mend now.

What I ate:
Breakfast: rotisserie chicken, cucumber, orange, tea
Lunch: cold roast lamb, reheated roast vegetables, tea
Dinner: satay chicken and vegetables on a bed of wom bok (Chinese cabbage)

Water: 12 cups

It looks like a lot of meat but I have a little meat with a lot of vegetables, I like to have protein with every meal. Sometimes it will be eggs, cheese, yoghurt or nuts.

Last week I cut down from 1 sachet (3g, less than a teaspoon) of sugar in my tea to half a sachet. And this week none. I'm determined to follow this diet properly this time.

I did some guitar practice today after none since I brutalised my fingertips a few days ago. It made me feel like I achieved something today.

Our little courtyard area is looking lovely at the moment. The row of large shrubs along the fence turned out to be camellias. This is the view from my kitchen sink:

And they smell lovely. Did you know that you make tea (normal black tea) out of camellia leaves? Probably not these particular varieties. The flowers don't smell like tea though.

Two days of "perfect" eating! I look forward to being well enough to add exercise. I think a little walk tomorrow. I have an overdue library book, so that gives me a destination.
