Thanks dunelm the Holland and Barrett CBD BALM 300mg strength is better than the two previous balms could finally get up without feeling pain in back and knees wonderful.:) Dr said if it works use it it won’t interfere with any medication I sometimes have to use for allergies. So did Physiotherapist I wouldn’t be able to do the walks without it, crazy has I used to do fell walking, Nordic walking and group walks all over Yorkshire Mallom Cove and Tarn, and Lady bower Reservoir in Derbyshire and surrounding hills, then Nordic walking all around the North west area I live in. I had to stop in my 60s has I got Cateracts couldn’t understand why I kept tripping up on our walks until I was diagnosed with Cateracts. I absolutely loved walking getting out their to places you would never see unless you walk, I miss it so much now. K

Good morning everyone from a dark and quiet start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north
Call mid morning from daughter, “would you like to go for breakfast? We are on our way to pick you up.” Lovely. Girl in the bubble, “butter and toast please lady.” I get smashed avocado with chilli and a couple of poached eggs. Everyone else with a breakfast. Mrs Miggins is out all day today - girls stuff, hush! Consult diary - nothing. Well there may well be and I forgot to enter any details so will go with nothing. England win, pity about not getting to 40 but 33-0 does not really describe the work put in by Italy - just release the ball and stop awarding yourselves penalties. Bengals in Super Bowl - nearly, very nearly (just checked score to be seen as informed but don’t ask questions).
Art - a little doodle to put a smile on someone’s face. Have a great day if you can, well, make it so. Best make koffy before I wake Mrs Miggins at the allotted time.

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen.
A 4.7 this morning, dosage established, but just to be on the safe side of this mornings me and me’s will take stuff if required. Ah the joys ( other girly names available) of insulin.

4th jab this morning then maybe subject to temperature table screwing and glueing also a little radiator venting, tea drinking, koffy drinking and generally trying to win a medal for being grumpy, gold is the aim. Winter Olympics pah.
Stay safe all.
Lastly @gennepher and @dunelm two nice pieces of artwork.

Greetings everyone. Tricky job pitching a post for Valentines Day without being insensitive. We aren't all either "loved up" or blessed with the physical presence of our soulmates so I apologise if I appear insensitive for even reminding anyone. Here is a sonnet for Valentines day which isn't Clinton Cards /Moonpig. @jjraak thanks for the good wishes on my "journey." @gennepher hug for the fibromyalgia. I know Muddy Cyclist suffers as well. Your creative is wonderful and his art, music and poetry are such a gift. Does make me wonder if there is any connection. @dunelm thank you for the splendidly colourful art and enjoy your clear diary day. I'm off to the gym this morning - background of the jigsaw IMHO - and later there will be Wagyu steak in our Valentines Day meal. Interestingly, Cyril and Methodius, Missionaries to the Slavs, 869 and 885, seem to have been omitted from the BCP but made it to the Woke Feb 14th Morning Worship. I watched a fantastic, for me, Carol King documentary? last night with a concert of hers and a James Taylor one still safely banked. Stay safe, says the man who will go to the gym but has to be dragged into shops and has a heart rate way higher than any exercise if eating out is even discussed. JKP didn't remember this - how many of y'all do?

Probably there is a connection...
Thanks Ian

BG this morning was 5.9 a 5.30am Coffee
Breakfast@ 7.10 am it was 6.4 100gms Greek yogurt and berries 60gms Coffee
Tested 2 hrs later @ 9.10am BG was 4.8

My BG levels have been dropping steadily over last week but we have done some serious walking when we went away for a few days both in York and Chester then yesterday at home we did 3088steps walking around were we live to keep my joints from seizing up.
And I’ve found finally substitutes for Potatoes we now use turnip, parsnip and looking for celeriac we prep them then cut some into small 1inch cubes to roast with olive oil in oven and some we make into chips also done in same way they didn’t even spike blood glucose 1unit. I cut all vegetables up and bag them up and put what we aren’t using in freezer for when we need them, they can all be cooked from frozen on 200deg in a fan electric oven 20 to 25 mins from frozen.
I’m ecstatic to find a substitute for potato they send my BG sky high, now I don’t feel I’m missing out on vegetables that allow me to eat without raising my blood glucose readings. I’ve been type2 diabetic for 22years but in last two years my blood glucose levels have been rising whist still eating same foods, I just can’t have more than a small amount of carbs anymore they usually come from what foods I’m eating.

@Granny_grump_ great news that you have found a potato substitute that doesn't raise your blood sugars.
 
Today was a perfect day. We went to the Vet so the dogs could have their annual vaccines.

While there the head Vet checked out Archie's lump on his neck that was diagnosed as cancer by one of the younger vets. The head Vet said that it is definitely not cancer but is a papilloma - basically a viral wart. We are so happy to get this good news. He also said that Archie was amazingly fit for a Labrador who is nearly 15½ years old.

We then went on to have a lovely meal out in a dog friendly pub. The sea bass was delicious and so was the coffee. So a truly perfect day.

Thank you Krystyna23040 I tried Halloumi chips but I didn’t like them I found the alternative vegetables online tried them and couldn’t believe it only raised my BG by one unit so I will be using the vegetable substitute from now on. K

That is great @Krystyna23040 the good news from the vet.
Glad you had a brilliant meal.
 
Good morning

Fbg was 5.4 at 7.30am

I thought it would be higher as I woke up 1.30am. I heard noises outside and I thought someone was in my front yard. False alarm phew.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Glad @Jojo85 that it was a false alarm. At that time in the morning it must have been really scary.

Good to know about the CBD Balm.

And those walks sound glorious.

Never got to do much country walking but always enjoyed the walks in What countryside we do have in and around our London area.

Think box hill, etc further afield and Richmond to the west of us .

Can hear how much you miss them
