Many congratulations to @mark-carney.bsky.social I’m not sure he’s wanting the leader of the free world position, but he has certainly shown us what leadership can look like.

A very short and gentle start back to yoga. Great to be back after 6 weeks away in recovery.

Let’s hope I can start some exercises soon. Need to wait a while to see my physio again.

Not been to the gym since May 2025, changed medication & gained so much weight. Heavier now than when I was in my 30’s. (I eat my feelings about being gay). Lost weight in my 40’s and 50’s and gained most of it back.

Another reasonable night, was able to walk & do house chores today, not too bad pain - maybe 2/3 out of 10.
