6.6 from the 6/6

6s not good in my book, my personal goal is to be in the 5s. But yesterday was my birthday and here's how it went....

Woke up surrounded by pressies as if magic had happened. Thought I had been transported to britains got talent! Opened said presents and cards. Usual tears flowed. Breakfast in bed offered by hubby. Had a cup of tea with some of my birthday present. Montezuma's 70% dark chocolate with cherries. Best chocolate that's got past my lips since dx. Absolutely delicious. Second course (that's how we roll on birthdays in our house) sausage and bacon toastie. 2 slices of bread no less. Not had a 2 slice toastie since dx either! Not even a special birthday the guy on my left shoulder was whispering to me, to which the guy on my right shoulder came back with a swift 'every birthday is special'. Nom nom nom.

Had a lovely day with the granddaughter and hubby out on the bikes burning off excess sugar! More like sitting waiting for rain to stop for most of the time! Nothing really burned off! Back home to build a bed for son who has complained bed is old and squeaky (it is!) So bit of exercise there. Cleaning parts of bedroom that hadn't seen the light of day for some time. He is 27 and it's his responsibility. Mine yesterday and all is now gleaming.

Daughter visited, more presies, more tears. What shall we have for dinner.. Chinese. With green veg right enough. Dont touch rice at all. Even smelling it would put my bs up. It's my birthday so compulsory 2 courses. Oh yes, where did I put that chocolate. It goes down a little too well with red wine...and nuts, I discovered.

So this morning to get focused again it was a 3 egg omelette with a splash of cream and .......ch....ch.....ch....chocolate....only joking....ch...eddar ch....eese. but having brought the chocolate out of the cupboard to check spelling for my post!!!....resisting ....so far! The packaging has happy birthday and my name on. Sent to me by post from a lovely friend. How thoughtful. It would be rude not to. Kettles on ;-)

Belated birthday wishes deb hope you had a great day xx
 
SaskiaKC is pleased to announce ...
a gain of "only" 2 lbs. since last weigh-in, some time ago; I've been putting it off since I haven't exactly been eating to the scales. But this morning I was just glad the gain wasn't any greater.

I came back upstairs from the fitness center and opened the windows for some fresh air, only to be greeted by a noseful of diesel fumes. :( I thought ... then I thought, Wait a minute ... inhale again ... ah. It smells like London. :)

Question: does London still smell like diesel? I loved it as a visitor there. One year in my life every place I went smelled like paper mills. Funny how smells can call up good memories ... and being T2 I would almost rather smell diesel and paper mills than chocolate-drop cookies and homemade bread. :(

Thank you hug, @ianpspurs what a lovely song. And part of what I love about being by a lovely lake at sunrise is that you get to breathe the fish-water air and feel the grass and mud between your toes and, when it's warm enough, the water in your hair ...

Glad you liked the song and the gist is very much a heartfelt wish from me to you. You and the kitten cat stay close and if a move to where you want comes about I will be ecstatic for you.

Thank you. I received a letter from the apartment manager there saying that I have been put on the waiting list, which at the moment is about 18 months long. Which gives me lots of time to save up for the move and hopefully a day trip to the town to check it out -- it's been years since I last visited but i keep up with it now online.
 
Unlike me havent been on here since breakfast. @Debandez so glad your birthday was so special and your FBG today held up well too. @SaskiaKC well done on the weight stabilising. Glad the KC let you have a bit more sleep. It has been raining all day here and very dark so me and the girls had lots of cuddles on the sofa this afternoon. All three dropped off to sleep with our favourite rug around us. @ianpspurs you havent said when your birthday is in June in your usual modest way but I am sure you will get lots of love and treats from your nearest and dearest. Best wishes from me if it has been and gone or even it hasn't.
To all: if you are out on the roads in the heavy rain this evening please take care

Re my birthday: It has not yet happened. It is very close to summer solstice which is probably why I detest winter

Well strangely enough john, though not similar material wise, i'd guess
but recent indian adventure saw many local men wearing what i would call a sleeve
Akin to a surgical stocking, comes in various colours, designed to help local not go darker in the sun.
teamed with a white shirt, just looks like an undershirt..(sort of lumberjack syle.)

do you have a choice of colours ?
 
My new phone kept announcing a "major hydrologic event" earlier this week, I was expecting floods or maybe the Water Works draining all the pipes at once, but no. Just heavy rains, with no fear of flash-flooding because it's been so dry here for weeks.

So ... we got a little rain one evening; a little more last night (that I slept through), and then this afternoon a nice grumbly-rumbly thunderstorm and a little more rain. But certainly not what anyone would call a "major hydrologic event."
