This is a photo of my own personal retreat. The old potting shed. Here it is before it's upgrade.

I certainly don't.

Think for druids the mistletoe had to be on an Oak tree? Here in Normandy mistletoe is found mostly on Poplars and Apple trees. MrSlim clears a few trees every year. The trees behind the gazebo were cleared two or three years ago. No Poplars in immediate vicinity, but here is another Apple...

FBG 5.9 And today we have a light sprinkling of the white stuff. Midday and temp is now up to 0°C. Chilly out there. Time to light the fire and huddle a bit. I have two new jigsaw puzzles, chosen because they looked difficult. Should occupy me for longer than the three days the last one took.

Noooooo!!! Not Nescafé! MrSlim and I do drink instant most of the time, but a French version. Much better flavour.

I cant remember

MrSlim invested in a Heston approved? Designed? Coffee maker. He was extremely annoyed to find I had repacked it and stored it in the attic while he returned to UK during the first Covid lockdown. I got fed up with dusting it! It was restored to its place in the kitchen and has since then...

Best possible result, although I still feel really rough and am isolating so as not to spread it about. Spent a large part of today in bed.

@lindisfel MrSlim has had a really bad cold and now i have it. Tested for Covid. Negative. Not sure about the Vit D. Was feeling fine until overtaken by illness. Am going to ask the doctor about it once I am better.

Test is negative.

FBG 6.6, later 6.3, 5.9 sand then back to 6.6 Gave up waiting for it to come down and had breakfast. Unusual for me. Normally have only coffee in the mornings. Have definitely caught MrSlims cold. Will be testing to see if it is something worse. MrSlim was still in bed at lunchtime, perhaps...

Forgot FBG this morning. Woke late. 9.40 and had to get up and go to collect poultry from our French friend. Should have been delivered yesterday, but news of an accident delayed that. Seems to have been bad news all round yesterday. Our friends son was badly hurt in the accident, her sister...

It according to this https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/picture/2024/jan/05/escalating-bad-luck-lurks-beyond-twelfth-night-the-stephen-collins-cartoon Luckily, because we were away for most of the Christmas period, our decorations are limited to a short row of cards so no trouble to get...

Thanks for reminder, Kiki is overdue by a few days her treatment.

Cold meats, salads and cheese are easy and low carb. Hard boiled eggs too. Coleslaw too, but if buying check for added sugar. Good luck on your journey to better health

Hi @dunelm thanks for your concern. Fortunately the flooding locally seems to be confined to fields and farmland, although a few roads became temporary waterways. Have been out of routine for a while, which includes posting here. ( note to self no more sleeping in until 10am...) We travelled...

Belated wishes for a happy day, however you spent it. Special thanks to @Annb for her kind thoughts.

Thank you @dunelm I have recovered now. It was another episode of whatever has plagued me for the last few months. Thankfully on Christmas eve, as opposed to the really festive days. We are off to my sister's house in a few minutes. Lunch for ten. And tomorrow family gathering of 26. Would have...

FBG 5.8 Feeling unwell this morning.

Yesterday's blood glucose was 6.4. U surprising after huge meal and dessert before catching the ferry. We both tested negative for covid again, but i felt unable to engage properly with my family (no hugs or kisses please) Such a shame to miss out on cuddles with the four month old baby...
