I suspect you are very sun shy nowadays?

Just walking from the front door to the car for one year in Aus probably gives more sun than a whole UK summer though

Sun is 10 here and normally it is so windy you don't get the heat that is the normal clue, I got my first tiny exposure for a week yesterday and a little bit itchy again today. Hopefully about to get cleared for travel although dd1 is not very well so if it is on her lungs then i guess it will be another 5 days

I think standard first line treatment here for a bulging disc is advice to rest a little and walk a little, not to do too much or too little? They aren't uncommon in desk bound jobs though are they, or people who drive a lot.

Is your posture good Gen?


Re osteo changes in spine then there are other dietary suggestions. Things like green lipped muscles, plenty of the omega whatsits. There are various nutraceuticals we give animals that haven't been suggested for me ( I have spinal degeneration which I suspect is a combination of nutritional , inactivity and weight gain).

Bone density is important. One of the best things we can do for our young is make sure they get some conclusive exercise. Not slamming them on concrete but walking and playing supporting their own body weight. Normal playing, running, exploring. And give them the diet to support this. Swimming, cycling etc are great and fun and should be done Too, but not instead of IMO. Concussive exercise builds bone density. Later it also gives us ragged joints, saggy boobs and incontinence. All things in good measure.

I've mentioned before how much less my back aches since getting a memory foam matress, but I also do clinical pilates and find that's huge help too.

I think there's supposed to be a pic but I can't resist asking if you've employed Nikkster?

Hopefully this might work?

A portion of chilli's already hit the insides. I was very restrained and got a small bowl from the cupboard .... so I wasn't tempted to just say "Oh s0d it" and tip the lot in.

Nuked half of what I didn't scoff yesterday, leaving one portion in the fridge - and served that with some tortilla chips and sprinkled with some grated chives & onion cheddar cheese. That last bit sounds posh, but I did buy it at the usual £5/Kg price and it was only a 200g block.... so, sounds posh, wasn't. Probably used just 10g to sprinkle on top, so about 5p worth of cheese. Tortillas were free, not what I'd buy - sibling had bought a couple of monster-sized packs at Xmas, then packed them up to come home with me saying "I'm on a diet....." (sibling does this every Xmas, buys stuff I'd not usually buy as it's a big bag/high calorie, then insists I take them home with me).

It's not that I don't like tortilla crisps, it's just they're in such huge bags, and so moreish - and high in calories. I bet if I looked each bag's 1500 calories apiece - soon scoffed once opened, so that's why I never buy them.

I'm sure that your strategy of not buying the big packets is very wise, as is your sister's strategy of foisting them on you. I take it that you couldn't bring yourself to throw the damn things away?

Good news for those who like to wash their cheese down with something. It's now (scientifically) encouraged!
