Thirteen days since my bypass operation and I’m walking three to four kilometres a day. I have to walk slowly and rest. On fine days this is such a simple pleasure.

I’m avoiding coffee and will wait until I see my cardiologist in June before I have any – or perhaps I will give up – of my favourite way to start the day.

Food

Fresh vegetable soup; pumpkin, leak, onion, garlic, carrot is my favourite this week. Freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast.

Can anyone advise me on the best place for salads in Matosinhos?

Stitches out today

I’ve been using Uber but recently tried Bolt as they had a generous introductory offer.

Ulysses

I’m using the Ulysses writing app to publish this blog now and hopefully there should be fewer typos.
