Yesterday I had what I once would have regarded as a modest hike up a nearby hill with a summit of only about 1000 feet. However, this has recently become a slightly more taxing experience.

I was laden down like a beast of burden, two cameras round my neck and a rucksack on my back. I expected to be a little uncomfortable this morning.

Not a bit of it. With bewildering unpredictability I feel as well today as I have done since the onset of this little inconvenience. Enthusiasm levels for completing chores are uncharacteristically high too!

I don't know what to put this down to. The effect of the exercise or the sulfasalazine really beginning to do its stuff - we're well into week two now. At this rate I might be able to give up the diclofenac shortly. That would be handy as it's probably been boring a hole in my stomach these past few weeks and months.

Also, there's no excuse for looking like a butter ball if I'm feeling OK. Have lost rather fewer of those 8Kgs than I would have preferred. So get your ass down to the gym sunshine!

So, much to do and let's get on with doing it!
