Am busy rearranging the contents of the kitchen buffet. MrSlim would not understand if I told him this is mostly for the convenience of the cat.

01.09 7.15am FBG 5.9 Monday coffee group in nearby town this morning. Am hoping to do a pan exchange with a friend, we have about a dozen pans in various sizes unsuitable for the new induction hob. My friend has some that will work. Should be good for both of us. Can also give her some excess...

Worked, ok pottered about in the garden all morning, after boiled egg and LC toast, resisted choccie biccies with coffee. Result: BG before lunch 4.8 While getting out chicken for dinner from the freezer found a rogue caramel mini magnum so rewarded myself with that. Back to the garden again...

31.08 7.10am FBG 5.3 bed at result for ages. Today eldest grandaughter is 16. Milestone birthday. Starting GCSE year. With an end of August birthday she has always been the youngest in her class. Being naturally petite this is very obvious, but hasn't disadvantaged her in any way. It was...

30.08 8.35am FBG 5.7 Kiki woke me very early, am assuming she was trying the full body slam to open her bedroom door, however this door opens inward, so no chance of success. Anyway made quite a racket and woke me far too early. 5.45am. Standard procedure for this is to insert her into her...

29.08 8.30am FBG 6.3 MrSlim has graciously allowed me 30 minutes to shower before he turns off the water and removes the toilet and washbasin from the cloakroom, so i had better get on with it.

29.08 7.15am FBG 6.2 Possibility of visitors this morning is not enough to inspire me to bake in the new oven which is apparently so sensitive that it has to be cleaned with a soft cloth using lukewarm water and mild detergent after every use. It is recommended to clean the oven while it is...

28.07 7.15am FBG 6.00 As usual feeling a bit flat after visitors have left. And exhausted. Need to go to P.O. and bank today. Also to get more recycling bags, we have finally used up the supply of yellow bags found here. Short walk, no need to take the car, which is one of the reasons we moved...

27.08 7.10am FBG 6.1 catching up with posts gradually, but now is time to make tea for MrSlim 9.05am FBG 6.4 coffee, hope that will help. Am sure a day or two of minimal food is required after the excesses of the last few days. Need to sort out the fridge, and catch up with laundry and...

20.08 No FBG Very disturbed night, stomach upset for me no obvious reason. Would like to go back to bed - but no. Am moving stuff into new kitchen. It should be an exciting time, but I am finding it difficult to decide what goes where. And this is not accounting for the many boxes of kitchen...

18.08 No FBG have run out of test strips. new batch delivered to daughter who is now in France, but not stopping by to visit on her way to the Loire. Will probably see her and family briefly on 25th. Son2 lives near to her and was asked to collect test strips, but that was a while ago and I...

Hi Lamont D. remember a post from @Krystyna23040 some time ago, discussing Active Rest, doing something you enjoy, which relaxes you. Your garden chores might come onto this category. It is wonderful to read how much things have improved for you recently. There may still be days that are less...

16.08 7.45am FBG 5.6 8.30am FBG 5.4 Am managing better control of eating and have lost a tiny bit of weight. Not that the numbers matter, what does is that some of my clothes are uncomfortably tight. Second coating the kitchen unit doors today, while MrSlim fits the hob and extractor. MrSlim...

Perhaps I should clarify - the beach was in France and the girls live in UK.

Thank you @Annb Was on the beach with her two older sisters when we got the news. Baby was planned ceasarian birth, but needed emergency extraction two days before. Girls were supposed to be home before she arrived.

Happy 80th birthday @Annb Neil Did Well to find a present that you will find useful.
