Read your post in the what have you eaten thread. Hug for all your troubles in one hit. The chocolate and cake seems perfectly understandable.

It was actually a big shock seeing that mail there (I had been anxious about the expensive package), obviously delivered in the early hours by whomever. That is possible @Alien Aspie

Hugs for you and your family, for the ridiculousness over the pond. It is unbelievable watching this unfold....

Maybe now that Christmas is off Santa has found alternative employment with the Royal Mail. If that is so we all should get our mail on time, provided of course that we have been good boys and girls and not naughty.

My fbg today 5.6.

That is bad news AA hope there is some progress in her recovery today
 
Morning all.
Today is a better day. At least I hope it is. I’m a bit stiff but I can move and I don’t hurt all over. That’s an improvement! Trouble is, on days like today, I convince myself that everything is fine. There’s nothing wrong that a bit more activity won’t fix and I feel stupid for even considering contacting my GP - glad that I couldn’t get through. Then there are the days when I can barely move because every joint hurts so much and I haven’t slept for two days. I am going to need to get to the bottom of this but I also know it’s not likely to be for months. Until the whole Covid thing has died down. And then I think of months more of being in pain and I want to cry. And then comes a day when I don’t hurt so much and I’ve gone full circle. Lol, too much thought required here!
Police armed response units in the village yesterday, along with vans, motorbikes, unmarked cars and ambulances. No one knows why. They zoomed in then zoomed back the way they’d come. Maybe they were lost?? Maybe someone’s plant pots weren’t socially distanced enough?
Happy Friday.

I admire the humour and stoicism contained in the post @SilverK. However, I would urge you to strain every sinew to contact your GP. Not needlessly bothering your GP is one thing but what you describe is totally different and unacceptable. Keep trying and let us know when you succeed.

Not good. Please try again and get a call in to your GP.

Good luck gennepher

Thanks @HarryBeau
I got out, went to the Post Office, got Xmas Stamps, posted postcards and letters. No one in there, so had a conversation with Post Office lady. Then Tesco Express, where the Polish girl who serves me at the till, always swaps her mask that covers her lips for a clear shield so I can lipread read her. Then regardless of the queue behind me, always closes her till, comes round and carries my bags out to my car. She always has a conversation with me, and even after putting my bags in the car, talks for a few more minutes, then goes back in.

I feel human again after those two interactions.

I know she had a baby girl before Xmas who is being looked after by family in Poland, and she came back to Tesco to work just before our first lockdown in March. So what she must be going through I have no idea, but she always presents her cheerful welcoming face to me.

Morning all. Having caught up with 2 pages of posts I am wondering just where to go with this post. Hugs for Jenn @Alien Aspie and for our Genn @gennepher. Shame about the clock @Muddy Cyclist but absolutely take it to be repaired. The guy is working from home and handover both ways can easily be as safe as possible. Excellent news about the zoom classes @Krystyna23040 and about your fbg and ketones @Alien Aspie. Another good fbg @karen8967 but it is Friday so meme time please hun:angelic: @dunelm I hope the ankle is starting to heal and coordinating feeding with medication routine isn't spoiling bg control over much . Here, it is Super Salmon Salad day which is just about the zenith of my current iteration of LCWOE ™. As for the clusterwhatsit/slow motion car crash unfolding in the US of A (and here? fulough extension NOT for Brexit, my backside) my take has been the same for some time now. A total failure to accept how and why 2008 happened thus scrambling around trying to shore up a wreck leading to increasingly bizarre actions and leaders. These last few days we seem to have truly jumped the shark. So, I'm pinning my hopes on D:Ream :)

Yeah Trump..(losers)
Leading by example...:hilarious:

GOOD song Choice..:D

Although must add, the "Surely at some point it has to. Right.. RIGHT :woot:..

Would have just spoiled the lyrical content of the song.;)

Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - the idea is to try and compose in your head and then just let it go.
The brush on the right of this picture shows how short these stiff bristles are compared to a regular brush of similar size

I still cannot bring myself to chop the bristles off any Chinese brush no matter how old the brush is @dunelm
But I can chop bristles off a conventional English brush....
