Haha yeah I can see where she's coming from in that it seems like a travesty paying so much for a few strips of melon but the reality is that it's still better than using only a small part of a whole one.

The worst part is, I don't like Watermelon or Pineapple really, she has me cutting it into bits for her, then she goes 'Oh that's not a good one, you can have that I won't eat it'.

I get about a gallon a day in, as a rule. If my piss goes darker than yellow, unless I'm taking cod liver oil, then I'm not drinking enough.

Most people I know drink less than 500ml a day, sometimes nothing, folk will get by on coke, coffee, tea and beer/wine.
 
I made a big pan of broth.
Bacon, onions, leeks, parsnip, turnip, pulses, salt & pepper & carrot.
Still some left so I'll be having that for tea.

Anyhow, off for a pint.
Catch you ****stains later. <ok>
 
There's a bluebottle that's been buzzing around in the office for a few days now, annoying little ****, I just got him, squashed him against a window with the bottom of my water bottle and all of his guts come bursting out his arse, it was a right mess. Then the ****er flew off, no ****s given, just flew off.

That's like somebody seeing you in the street, kicking your kidneys, lungs and liver out of your arse and you just get up and run off.

Good sleep habits help balance biological factors that make it harder to attain healthy sleep as we grow older.

Insomnia and disrupted sleep in elderly people are a common side effect caused by many chronic medical conditions such as arthritis, congestive heart failure, depression, and gastroesophogeal reflux disorder. Respiratory disorders, such as sleep apnea, which cause multiple arousals during the night, also become more common as people age. Other problems, such as restless legs syndrome, which results in an uncontrollable need to move one's legs while drifting off to sleep, or periodic limb movements, which cause jerking of the feet or legs during the night, can make it difficult to fall asleep or lead to highly fragmented sleep. Unfortunately, sleep problems in older adults often go undiagnosed and untreated simply because many people believe sleep problems are a normal part of aging or that nothing can be done to help them sleep better. Thankfully, treating any underlying medical disorders can dramatically improve sleep.

Sleep Strategies Later in Life (4:22)
Sleep problems are not inevitable as we age, though individuals need to pay attention to healthy sleep habits.

Because most older adults are less able than younger adults to maintain sleep, the elderly suffer disproportionately from chronic sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation may cause individuals to unintentionally nod off during daytime activities. Late afternoon naps can also reduce a person’s ability to sleep through the night, thus potentially worsening insomnia. Learning how the internal clock and sleep drive interact, and how they limit when good sleep can occur, can help people devise strategies that will help them maintain quality sleep as they age.

Your lucky...

I had little snooze yesterday afternoon...which meant a poor sleep last night....but I do often wake up struggling to breath...and it is not easy to get back off again

But surely that is a medical condition mate, and not a norm?

I hate sleeping night time. Its the best part of the day (that sounds wrong i know). I can be knackered all day and by 6 or 7 wide awake and suffer next day.

Thats why Sundays i usually do **** all. They show every game, put it on and basically watch some and sleep.

The Mrs hates it. Tough ****e.
