I blame @alf_Josiah for not going shopping with Mrs A J - and those way up Norf who would rather count it than spend it.Get thee spending, it is the will of the people. Shop about to helpout scheme incoming. They know how to be patriotic in Norfolk

Have you tried the Fodmap diet? It may not harmonise with low carb.
Its unpleasant having that all the time @gennepher.
Best wishes

6.2 this morning.
Really raining heavily so definitely no dog walk. What a shame - I will just have to make do with relaxing on my comfortable reclining chair in our cosy conservatory with a Nesspesso coffee before setting off to classes in Norwich.

That was lucky @gennepher. Hope you feel a lot more comfortable very soon.

You could go and sit in your new car and get to know all the bells and whistles. @Krystyna23040

What is so good is that it is a newer model of my old car and so all I had to do is learn how to drive automatically as everything else is the same.
It made changing to automatic so much easier as I do find learning all the bells I whistles really hard to do. I am really envious of people who can just get into any car and drive it.
I was so lucky that when I went to the garage the perfect car was there. One careful owner and hardly any miles done.

Good morning everyone on a very damp and blustery start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 6.1 this am. Probably due to the lack of red wine or more likely the anticipation of today’s fun and games. Today, The Girl In The Bubble is 4 years old and the grandparents, both sets, will soon be suffering the uncontrolled attacks of the minature humans armed with cake, jelly and ice cream. What fun. I best have a nap before we go. Art bit, onwards and upwards. Hope your day is full of joy. Best make some koffy.

6.8 this morning.
Had a call from City Hospital yesterday about the IPF advising me to stop the medication for a few days as I’m having problems with the side effects and was also advised to avoid infections and that if I do get a chest infection to call 999 right away bit worrying really may have to start wearing mask again maybe.
Keiran is hoping to finish off the pantry this weekend so we can move the tumble dryer and freezer in there and the new cupboards then we will be able to declutter the dining room and the lounge of course then the Christmas decorations and tree can be sorted, as he wants to go down to Oxford to spend a few days at the friary with Adrian.

BG at 0230 5.9. 3 cups of tea later at 0930 it was 8.8.
Grey sky and rain here at the moment and not particularly warm either. My cherry tree has finally shed its leaves, well, most of them and the remaining ones look kind of shrivelled.
The wheelchair that I use actually belongs to DIL. She bought it 2nd hand years ago when she broke bones in her spine as an outdoor pursuit instructor and used it for a while when she was in difficulty while expecting Em. Later, Tom used it until he got his own, better padded one. Since walking became difficult for me, I've been using it. DIL will probably need to have it back after her surgery so I'll need to think about what I can do to get about - might be able to borrow one from the local NHS community store.

Morning all from a very wet L.A. where more rain is promised. Based on the MRI feedback and phone consultation yesterday I'll use Libre again. Bg, lipids, full bloods are all in normal range even if I'm not. Thanks be to God and CUH. @Krystyna23040 did that car have a hymn book in the glove compartment, left by the little old lady who only used it to go to church? 
Not much use hereabouts but automatics are great for hill starts. Round here the sleeping policemen are hills. @dunelm thanks for sharing the art. Congratulations to TGIB - four is very grown up as #5 raises herself to her full height and tells anyone close enough. Attached is to remind you to take the red medicine - maybe not the whole Ode although I like it a great deal. One A Level English teacher always positively drooled at that part and parts of Tom Jones. He definitely looked as though he kept a good table and cellar @JohnEGreen hug for the stress that phone call will probably have caused. Back to wearing a mask sounds sensible to me. @Annb hug for having to acquire a wheelchair, we have a spare but that's not much use to you. @gennepher good news on the fennel working. @lindisfel I hope you find the Samsung tablet you want. We have 2 which we like - I take one on my drip trips. Enjoy your day everyone.

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and those growing webbed feet and learning to speak fluent duck.
Blood sugars this morning were 6.2
One or all 6 of me learnt a life lesson this morning, if one or all of me, me’s and myself oversleep then do 45 minutes plinky plonky practice, eat breakfast and take medication there isn’t much left of the morning. Must try and get up earlier in the morning. Fat chance 4 out of 6 of me think.
Damp and wet, oh, they are the same with regard to weather out doors here in Tilehurst Towers, but at least the temperature is a few degrees warmer.
Do you all fellow posters and painters, drat, disaster darlings, absolute disaster Mrs J distracted me and I’ve now forgotten what I was going to write, hold on Mrs J is transmitting again…………yes dear, immediately dear……

Superficially this piece is just about cricket but as one reads it is about so much more. What do many of the buzz words even mean? Newspeak - (is'nt that all the populists have to offer?)
How far apart from we Boomers and Boomers+ are Millenials and Gen Z in language, therefore worldview? Forget seeing yourself as a wonderful, unique creation and get with the program. “There is massive unlock still to be done,” the Coke guy said contentedly. I've always been convinced LC is in very large part a massive unlock. Still time to shop before insert event of choice. Black Friday and Cyber Monday anyone?
