BG was 8.4 at 02.30 today (bed before midnight led to that early start). 8.1 by the time I got to the kitchen. In the 6's now. Have to go to get my new false teeth this morning. It should have been last week but they hadn't been sent back from the mainland in time. Hope they are there now -...

Avocado on crispbread for breakfast, and some tea. 2nd meal will be the rest of the shepherd's pie from yesterday.

Em went through a phase of loving everything unicorn-like but now she's into goth stuff, piercings, etc. How do they grow up so quickly? I remember being keen on black myself, in my teens, but never the big boots, safety pins, nose piercing and so on.

I'm dumb. I should have realised, Ian. I don't mind cats or dogs. I just can't have one and I can certainly live without. Dogs are high maintenance and cats, while very independent, cause allergies (we didn't know how allergic Neil was to them when we last had a cat). Even big-hearted...

I actually managed to get onto the Amazon Chat line today - no idea how, it just appeared out of nowhere on my screen. It couldn't help but it did transfer me to a human. Problem solved now. I'm still going to send a message to the bosses though to let them understand how difficult it is to...

He's a cartoon character - big, fat, lazy, friendly and gets into trouble.

I'm sure you will win him over before long, Gennepher. That's a loss worth fighting for. Mine is minimal, but the amount isn't the point - they shouldn't make it so hard for customers to make a complaint.

More crackers with cheese for breakfast. The taste is OK and it's easy to do when I'm feeling sore and tired (normal morning these days). 2nd meal will be the rest of the spicy lamb stew with defrosted mashed potato making a shepherd's pie.

7.9 by the time I got through to the kitchen at 03.20 today. 8.9 sitting on the edge of my bed before that. Recycling and compost bin day today. Neil went out about 07.00 to put them out for collection. While he was at it, he tried to start up my grandson's car which is parked in our...

Glad that Mr K is less pain and here's hoping that the swelling reduces sufficiently for the op to be less invasive. Fingers crossed.

Ham on crispbread for breakfast. Tea. I didn't bother making anything with the lamb yesterday - I was busy on Zoom and then Em came in and then her Dad, so it was nearly 7 pm before I was free to do any cooking, by which time, I couldn't be bothered. I just had a slice of the cake I made a...

Well, if the IKEA ones are not up to the job, maybe back to your original idea.

Actually, now I come to think of it, Neil still has a couple of the wardrobes. He has a kitchen (never used), living room and bedroom of his own at one end of our house and one of our old kitchen wardrobes is in his kitchen, along with an old, glass fronted bookcase which he has fixed on the...

04.00 7.1. Had been in the 3's during the night so I had to use the 2 digestive biscuits from my emergency box, but that did the trick. Still pretty cold here - into the fleecy tops now. Wind forecast, but just now it is only a slight breeze. At least I don't have to go out today.

Old fashioned, free standing kitchen cupboards are useful but not always easily available in Britain - don't know about France. Our kitchen, in the past had "pre-loved", re-designed wardrobes and sideboards. Unfortunately, we moved the kitchen from one end of the house to the other and put in...

He's one substantial looking cat. I'm surprised that Midnight let him into his domain.

I'm fed up with Amazon! Since I can't get into shops in Stornoway without great difficulty (for Neil) I don't do any shopping there myself and when I want something that Neil can't select for me, I go to Amazon. Usually it works pretty well, I have to admit but this time, I ordered a few...

Avocado on crispbread for breakfast. Tea. 2nd meal will be a stew of some kind made with the remaining lamb. The water came back on about 10 pm last night. So that's when the radiators came back on. The house was warm last night, while we were in bed. Back to normal this morning.

BG 7.1 at 04.25 today. Sensor ran out while I dozed in the chair so I put a new one on but the needle part of it is still sticking out. However, the reader seems to think it is OK so I've just covered it with a plaster to stop it catching on things and hope for the best. We'll find out in...

Oh Gennepher. Again. I really don't understand what the world is coming to. Nobody seems to care about anybody but themselves. Selfish, thoughtless, ignorance abounds. I do wish there was something that could be done from a distance to help.
