I do think you haven't give yourself enough time to recover from your op.
Your idea of "taking it easy" is probably not the same as your consultant

I've had two major abdominal ops, and in each case was not allowed to run or twist or lift anything for 6 weeks.
Got me out of the housework!
Being self-employed in horticulture, that was tricky but I just had to delegate.
I was told I could walk as much as I wanted, so I gave out instuctions for the day and walked off.
After the six weeks, I was up and running again fairly quickly.

Give yourself more time.
Then you can decide if you want/can afford to retire from full-time work.

Well done on the continued loss even with some indulgences on the weekend. That's really the name of the game - overall progress over time despite occasional slipping up. Some plateaus are inevitable too so don't sweat it if the scale stays the same for a bit. :thumbsup:

I managed to get a kilo off last week - despite a copious intake of wine and gelato over the weekend.

Emergency call outs permitting, I will be heading out to the SH this week.  Tomsk - any chance you can bring along a brevet for Dick Turpin’s Day Out and also Bricks and Moretaine?  I am hoping the weather plays ball for my upcoming week off and allows me a couple of days out.

 :thumbsup: Ok will do - don't forget the entry forms!

Because I  play the saxophone many folk automatically assume I play jazz.

I don't.

At least, I try not to. I get asked to though and, because I'm nice, I usually comply and play something that many would recognise as being jazzy.

It's terribly boring though. American standards from 30s and 40s. Always: head, sax solo, keys solo, bass solo, drum solo, head. Riddled with clichés.

I prefer free improvisation which doesn't necessarily mean random noise. It can be any style you like.

Anyway, sorry, I don't listen to R4X.
I'd love to hear/learn more about this. Maybe best via PM if that suits you.

That'd be fine. I can send you some links to stuff on Bandcamp if you like.
