Fridge clean out to fancy toasts. Homemade sourdough, roasted garlic tomatoes I made last weekend, spinach, left over lamb roast, horseradish cheddar, sautéed onions and balsamic drizzle
🦵 DAILY HEALTH TIP: YOUR CALVES ARE YOUR “SECOND HEART”
Your calves do more than help you walk, run, and jump. Every time they contract, they squeeze the veins in your lower legs and help push blood back toward your heart against gravity.
That’s why prolonged sitting matters.
During a ✈️ long flight, 🚗 road trip, or hours at a 💻 desk, your calf-muscle pump isn’t working as much. Blood flow in the legs slows, which can contribute to the risk of DVT (deep vein thrombosis)—a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg.
KEEP THE PUMP MOVING:
🦶 Do ankle pumps & circles
⬆️ Knock out 20–30 calf raises
🚶 Get up and walk periodically
💧 Stay reasonably hydrated
🧦 If you’re higher risk, ask your doctor about compression socks or other precautions
DVT risk is still low for most healthy people, but it increases with prolonged immobility and certain medical risk factors.
🚨 Know the signs: New one-sided leg swelling, pain, warmth, or discoloration should be evaluated. Sudden shortness of breath or chest pain can indicate a pulmonary embolism and requires emergency care.
Bottom line: If you’re stuck sitting for hours, MOVE YOUR LEGS. Your calves aren’t just muscles, they’re part of the pump that keeps your blood moving. 🦵❤️
I stopped at my neighbour's who bakes cakes for people just because she enjoys baking. She had a banana bread waiting for me. We had a good chat. I have been trying to find out what I could give her in return for a while.
I asked her today: "Are you a coffee or a tea kind of person?"
"I am a wine kind of person."

Slovakia, Iraq, and Tunisia are LOSING funding, while Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Panama are GAINING it.
America First is putting our own hemisphere FIRST! 🇺🇸🔥
Fidel Castro was a complete failure at everything except destroying Cuba and impoverishing, jailing and murdering his own people
I strongly suggest that anyone tempted to try and follow his example should carefully reconsider, because if they do they would be dooming themselves to failure as well
BREAKING NEWS: The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY! At my direction, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, working closely with Highly Respected Interim President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, and, through a partnership with private business, have secured majority U.S. control of more than 65 BILLION BARRELS of proven Oil Reserves in Venezuela, at no cost to the American Taxpayer.
