Back Pain
Sitting all day definitely gives back pain. This a big a issue with most jobs these days and with a lot of people. Painkillers are not the answer for me.

What is the point?
I could not get rid of this thought- What is the point? A long term friend and doctor died yesterday due to COVID-19. Television and social media are full of beautiful words and tributes for her.

In the lift.
My appointment was at nine o’clock. After dropping off my child to school to get somewhere for 9 am is rushed, to say the least. Traffic was bad too.

Mexican Food
One of the most favourite food in our house is mexican. Today I had some left over chicken biryani but wasn't enough for everybody. I like lazy Saturdays so can't do much cooking. Well, we got some wraps, guacamole with salsa and made burritos. Glorious healthy meal with freshness galore. Absolutely loved it. Name … Continue reading Mexican Food
