01.08 8.05 am FBG 6.0 Later dropped to 5.7 Busy day - we are both very conscious of the countdown to visitors arrival. Ensuite shower room is now waiting for finishing touches only MrSlim and I tidied up the bedroom by scraping off all the loose paint and washing the floor. And removing...

30.07 7.55am FBG 5.9 Have had some apparently good FBG results in the last week or so, but they are lies, not me posting inaccurately, but strangely low after overindulging in far too much carb and sugar laden food and alcohol. Don't understand how this works at all. Yesterday was a more...

I did the same and binned almost all of it.

28.07 7.05am FBG 4.8

26.07 8.45am FBG 5.6 9.15am FBG 5.1 Ahhh coffee. Garden is soaking wet after all the rain in the last week, but a sunny morning tempted me out there to check on the damage. Clematis has been ripped from the wall, so MrSlim put in a couple of hooks for me to the it to. Yesterday was market day...

@jjraak my D3 levels were extremely low. My theory is that fighting a long standing infection had used it all up as one of the functions of vitamin D3 is to support the immune system. Also it is a vitamin stored in fat, of which I have very little. Now my daily pill is essential.

24.07 8.05am FBG 5.7 Only dropped to 5.6 in an hour then started climbing again. Kiki to vet this morning. Traumatic for both of us and I have battle wounds which the vet insisted on treating, to prove it. Idiot cat has been eating insects in the evenings, which irritate he stomach, so she...

Thank you for your suggestion @Annb , am now using a sweeping broom and only using the hand brush to finish off any stubborn patches. It's still taking ages though.

A good solution for you, but our boiler and hot water cylinder are down there, so not practical here.

23.07. 7.45am FBG 5.6 Less than a month before we have visitors. The situation is getting worse rather than better. Or at least it feels that way. Last week MrSlim and HH excavated around the cellar air vent. Which is actually a blocked up window. Dug down about a metre and used breeze...

@Annb I take VitD3. It's the only "medication" I use, vitD3 helps to support the immune system, so may well help with inflammation. I have also found it very helpful for emotional stability as it is known to help prevent depression. Something I have struggled with all my life. VitaminD3 is...

When tidying up often find the thing I was looking for last week, but only rarely the item I am actually searching for.

So sorry to read this. Thinking of you and the rest of his family at this difficult time. May he rest in peace.

09.07 8.35 am FBG 5.1 Think I must be a difficult customer. Couldn't get the style of kitchen cabinet in the style i wanted. Or the right colour of paint, so kitchen is on stop. Today have been to three different stores, knowing exactly what I wanted to buy, having previously bought those items...

07.07 8.29am FBG 5.5 More rain. Have set up a bucket and towel system to catch some of the water. But while we were out shopping must have been a deluge because the bucket had overflowed. We bought paint and lino, but failed to find a suitable toilet and washbasin, eventually MrSlim decided he...
