Today, I am feeling as down and miserable as I have for a long time (well since I started to feel better after my radical prostatectomy). Don't worry, I'm not feeling depressed, that is a whole magnitude of feel bad apart. But I am feeling miserable, fed up and down. There are, I suspect, four reasons. The first is the weather and the gloom. It is 3.30pm I've been staring at this all day. I normally don't work Wednesdays, but Daz, my manager is off and I'm covering.

The second reason was Manchester City imploding and playing abysmally for 20 minutes after leading 3-0 in the Champions League last night, drawing 3-3. Such things always disturb my equilibrium. The third reason is a lack of alcohol. I've not had a drink since Saturday and I won't have another one until Friday evening. I have been overdoing it recently and I needed a rest. I am not someone who drinks alone or for the sake of it, but I do enjoy a pint with mates or a glass of wine with my honey and I am giving it a rest.
The fourth reason is I am on a radical diet and a health kick. I am fasting 20 hours a day until Friday, which means I have a bowl of porridge and 9am and a bowl of food at 1pm, then nothing until tomorrow. No nice dinner to look forward to. I'm also doing an hour workout in the gym after I finish. Not much fun. I hate the gym, but I force myself as it helps me ward off the worst ravages of age and being a drunken, greedy sod.
All in all, it is a recipe for feeling a bit miserable. Luckily I do have a remedy. The thing that always pulls me up is music. I made a special "Cheer me up" playlist for such moments. I selected 36 songs that always put a smile on my face.
If you are feeling down, have a listen. IF it doesn't work for you, make your own! IF you are a Barnet Eye reader, you clearly have impeccable taste, so I'd advise making sure you have a good fix of the right music, for when you need it.
