5.3 for me this morning, over imbibed last night so both happy and surprised at that, off to the beach in a mo, have a lovely day all.
They took off. And when they were up the captain turned around, he had a box of biscuits and a flask of coffee he offered to all 6 passengers! He also got out his map! My mum wasnt one to exaggerate!
“Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.”
I flew a 4-seater Cessna 172 from Derby to Dublin (via L'pool), a flask of coffee and sandwiches were involved, plus I was VFR (visual flight rules) at that time so everything was plotted on a map that sat in my knee pocket I followed the cat ferry out of Holyhead just in case we had a problem, one of my very happy memories of flying and Dublin.

Fantastic to see another reading "in the zone" for you. Enjoy your day
I don't like the use of the phrase "if I try hard enough I can make something work"
It's almost like you are beating yourself up. That is just my personal feeling. I wanted to reply to this yesterday, but I didn't have the words. I hope I am not speaking out of order.
Other people don't come into this. A problem is just the same whether it is a massive one or a so called little one. It can feel the same to the person.
I would like to call your eating journey an exploration, a exciting journey of discovery. There are many twists and turns in a journey. A journey can be going great, but then there is an unexpected hiccup or blocking of the way. So then you backtrack, look for a new way round, even walking upstream (which to continue the journey analogy can be an exciting way to reach one of your destinations).
I can tell you are always researching, maybe looking for answers. But I am not sure it is straightforward as that. I am now talking about other things in my life as well, not just diabetes, and it seems to me that there are always twists and turns. And no one way works forever,. Some may work a short time, and others may work longer. Then something changes (for diabetes it's something in our body for whatever reason, for the journey I now have a tree blocking my path and a fast flowing stream besides it).
I've completely despaired before now, and literally thrown in the towel. And gone off the rails a bit. Especially trying to work with that stupid dietician last year. It just felt hopeless.
I hope I haven't spoken out of turn here. And I apologise if I have.
I was looking for a proverb my partner used to say, but I am sad because I have forgotten it. It is about a bird always singing even if she is freezing on the branch.
But I found this one just now, and I think I like it...

Morning...had a great sleep last night after an evening with the tennis & killing Eve...the paperwork stayed untouched procrastination is one of my major attributes at the moment...I'm (supposedly)off to collect a captains chair that I want for the study and I'm thinking it's Sunday the sun is out & more coffee in the garden watching the birds feed sounds preferable...no I need to get organised...I am about to get dressed & get off down that motorway before I change my mind...woke to a 6.8.
Winner for the hour spent happily grass cutting. (Worst part of being immobile is no grass cutting)good afternoon all
was 4.8 this morning
The sun has come out, I got a few plants out into the ground in the garden and just spent a happy hour at mum's mowing grass I must admit I do like the smell of freshly cut grass.
Hope your day is treating you kindly
It is definitely HER chair!Yesterday afternoon I was going to post that I had been given a comfy chair. But after trying to get comfortable in it most of the evening and again this morning I was ready to give it back, or pass it on ...
But I am not the only one who lives here and my roommate seems to find it very comfy indeed ...
