Accidental double dose of Levemir averted, Novorapid adjusted for a long walk day, current stormy weather permitting, work-based shopping list prepared, (I even remembered to get the cash in advance this time!) and job list ready for a minimal walk day tomorrow.
Now I'm ready for my day off.
Are the nice brown mushrooms in short supply at the moment? They are one of my staple veggies, always have been, and there were none in either supermarket on last night's food shopping trip. There were white ones, but they aren't as nice, and even they weren't as plentiful as usual. Leeks were noticeably lacking the other week.
Good morning all. 7 this morning but did wake up in the middle of the night to a 14.5 so correction and back to bed.

Pardon? What did you say?Hang everything from the ceiling except some wooden spoons and saucepan lids - and wear ear defenders! Guaranteed enjoyment.
Morning Japes,
The brown mushrooms are part of my staple diet too. I managed to get some yesterday, though stocks were low, but the day before they didn't have any in my local Tesco's, which is unusual.
Could be a hiccup in supply. the storm may also have slowed down deliveries.
The delivery thing was definitely the problem in one of them - I heard staff say to someone else they'd had delivery issues that day. It's unusual for both of these shops to be out of them, even at the time of night I often go supermarket shopping, which is why I was wondering out loud about general supplies.
Oh well, problem solved now. I'm a mix of a Sainsburys/Asda/Aldi kind of shopper as they are on good bus routes home. Tesco is relatively easy to walk to (2.5 miles) but it's two buses home, one each on the very long sides of a triangle with a very convoluted variation since the bus routes changed. (4.6 miles by bus with the old best route, 6.8 miles with the new variation on the old second best route.). So, I only go when I've got a parcel to collect from the sorting office as it's across the road! I tend to walk to the shops and get the bus home.
Reminds me a little of an incident on a hiking trip in Tasmania years ago. We arrived at the forestry hut late in the afternoon.Morning all enjoy your weekend regardless of the weather. Got grandsons later so im thinking of some indoor activities and removing all breakables
The little darlings have just gone home and i am frazzled need eyes in the back of your headReminds me a little of an incident on a hiking trip in Tasmania years ago. We arrived at the forestry hut late in the afternoon.
There was a log book in each hut and in this one we read of the escapades of a possum called Black Pete. Apparently he was an invenerate thief of food stores. So after our evening meal all packs and food supplies were strung up with ropes.
As were talked at the fireplace a grey possum appeared down the chimney, followed by a second much smaller one.
We decided that this was Mrs Black Pete and child. They were very cute and looked a little timid.
Then we hear a rustle, followed by the sight of a large black possum clutching some plastic bags, jumping from the strung-up packs to the fireplace and up the chimney, promptly followed by Mrs and child. A trial of sultanas was the only evidence of their recent presence. Black Pete had even unzipped the pockets on the packs.
I know grandchildren are probably not as athletic as Black Pete but I would not doubt that they may have developed their own distraction techniques !! Good luck that that!!

Afternoon all.
Thank you all once again from Knikki and the now properly Mrs Knikki
Everything went well yesterday only mild annoyance was all the Etch A Sketch and MiaoMiao coming off while I was in the shower, don't know why it did that but going to phone Abbott at some point ad complain.
Anyway had also packed another testing kit so used that during the day and bloods were fine all day, even after drinking some home made damson gin rocket fuel, man was I so totally trashed after that
And as some want a picture?
Here is one when we were in the car.
