Diabetics R Us

Oh My Days! I stuck to the wheelchair, struggled to peel my skin away and now I look like the Wicked Witch of the West (Derby!). Blue sky, who knew?
 
Even hotter tomorrow apparently.

It is times like these that I could murder an iced bitter-shandy on the shady patio. In fact, I could bathe in some.

Twice this morning we had a baby fledgling robin in our kitchen. The same one we think. Previous interlopers have been various, but this one was caught on camera a few years ago.

I have no idea what bitter-shandy is, but I'm pretty sure we of diabetics-r-us can put together to fill a bathtub with it. When's your birthday?

LOL. Bitter-shandy is half a pint of draft bitter (beer) and half a pint of lemonade mixed together. Everyone is busy on my birthday saying goodbye to the old year.
 
Well I think it's been too hot hot hot today. It really has been unpleasant here in the South. And tomorrow is going to be even hotter! So I hope you're going to share that bitter shandy bath with everyone @Bluetit1802 It could be a bit sticky though..........
I had my HbA1c today - few days to wait for the results. I had apple crumble on Saturday evening, - 8.5 on my meter! And it took until early yesterday evening to get down to 5.5 I won't be doing that again in a hurry. It was very tasty though!
Bed time now. Sleep tight everyone

Are you sure you want to bathe in iced whatever on new years eve? You're welcome of course, but we can fill a bath on your patio just as easily with a warm beverage of your choice.
Looking forward to your party!
 
Good morning Duckies. A deep, deep red sky this morning. Is 04.38 too early for gardening?
 
It's now 8am and just finishing a cuppa before trying my luck in the garden. My bottom is sore because I sit on the ground to do the gardening and because we've had so little rain even the lawn is rock hard so my bum has found every last stone and that is with using mats! I call it the soft bum shuffle
 

I feel your pain. I can't kneel to do my weeding and low down things (knackered cartilage) so have to sit or my knee can lock. I have a thickish sponge mat but still feel every stone.

It is amazing, though, just how much you can get done. I have come inside now until maybe 5pm. I'm filthy but happy!

I wasn't even out in the garden earlier. I was lying on the lounge floor looking at an upside down label on the underside of a reclining settee, checking it is a fire label. My blasted knee locked. Fortunately I now have the knack of unlocking it quickly or I could have been there sometime.
 

That sounds painful.
