Sorry about the tummy bug but glad to see you had a good time and enjoyed your break away.

Reheated shallow fried fish and some of the potato wedges for breakfast. I did them for 2nd meal yesterday but didn't finish them. 2nd meal will be avocado salad.

4.5 at 04.15 today. Just as well that container was removed yesterday morning because the wind and rain arrived early in the afternoon and it would have been impossible then. Weather is the same today - bright and sunny this morning but forecast says storm Dave will arrive this afternoon.

Hmmm.:D

I do so admire a skilled worker. In the past I have watched with admiration as lorry drivers insert their vehicles into tight spaces that I would consider impossible to get into, but today I have to say, this lorry driver demonstrated great skill in getting that container under the BT lines and...

Now here's a pretty kettle of fish... We have had a container parked outside our house for over a year while we had work done on the house but we have finished with it and asked the owners to arrange to take it away. They came without warning this morning and are currently trying to get it onto...

Breakfast: there was a little of the pork and veg left so I added some chickpea rice/noodles and made a kind of biriyani. The meat and veg weren't spiced, of course, but I spiced the rice instead. Still hungry though. 2nd meal will be fish of some sort - depends what Neil can get when he...

6.0 at 02.10 today. Still in the 6's at the moment, but I've just had breakfast so it may not last. Leg day today. Rain threatened in the forecast but bright sunshine now. Neil has finally finished adapting my recliner chair so that it is high enough to make for easier standing instead of it...

Apparently not @alf_Josiah. Neil has been trying to find someone for years without success.

It took the can of coffee to fix BG in the end. And then took an hour dozing in the chair to recover. The plumber arrived to look at our shower this afternoon. It is one of those disabled showers - practical but ugly. It was put in years ago when my husband was having to be showered in a...

The coffee worked. BG came up to 6.1 and then dropped down to 5.0 again, but it seems to be fairly stable at that. Aphids, like other creepy crawlies, are not welcome in my house. They have to leave or die. So far, so good - no aphids but, if they do get in, I, for one, will not be eating...

Breakfast was some fresh pineapple, followed a little later by some tea. BG dropped to 3.3 so I've just had a Nature Valley oat and honey biscuit (well - a packet which is 2 thin biscuits) and it's dropped to 3.1. Hoping for a quick turn round. Might have to bring out the big guns - a can of...

What is the biological control that you are using? Some other kind of bug? Ladybirds would do the job, I imagine but where to get them?

Just had a bit of a tussle with the Amazon Customer Service site but eventually got onto their Real Live Person Chat. Postie arrived this morning to pick up the package but didn't have a label for it - nor did I! Amazon said the postie would have it. Problem was, it was a Market Place seller...

Breakfast was going to be some lamb's liver pate that I found in the freezer, plus a few crackers, but it tasted a bit odd, so it went into the bin and I had some soft cheese with the crackers instead. Tea. It wasn't very satisfying and I'm hungry now. 2nd meal will be a little bit of chicken...

The darned thing will have to be returned. EDIT: Today's package from Amazon will have to be returned as well. It was a plant stand which looked strong enough to hold quite a few pots, in the picture, but in fact is pretty flimsy and has instructions with it which refer to bits that are not...

Hope all goes as you want it to at the Cataract clinic and that our day goes as well as you anticipated.

Hug for JKP. Hope the swollen lips don't make enjoying that meal difficult.

6.6 at 03.15 today. Still in the 6's almost 4 hours later but I've only had one cup of tea so far with another to hand as I write. That might change things. Our new router arrived in the post yesterday and I was astonished to see that it was a pre-used one. Checking back with Amazon I saw...

So glad to hear that your son is doing well enough to leave hospital. It will take time for him to adjust to the new lifestyle, but I'm sure he will manage it. Have a good journey back to France with Mr Slim and back to working on the house.
