FG I’m much preferring shower over a bath
Puppy training has knackered her she’s slept since 8pm
Good afternoon teabags, and hope you all get through the day in fit shape to enjoy the wine, cider etc.
Mel, you’ll deserve it! I’ve never been able to look at the logic of shutting up over-active brain-mayhemmed 13 year olds in a classroom all day. A lovely friend brought peace to older versions of the same by taking her rescue dog into the classroom. They loved her and I see that the interweave’s alive with the ‘new’ thinking that this is a good thing.
Hope you won’t be hitting the vodka this evening Karen for anything other than a celebration of a great first day!
Aw, Cumbs, puppy training with your little cutie, gorgeous!
My news of the day? I’ve had a shower!!!! A shower! At last - and it was wonderful! Simple pleasures are the best!
Good afternoon all.
Welcome to the forum @champ200581 and the little bit of sanity/insanity that is this thread. Hope you’re feeling better, keep well hydrated, plenty of fluids ( the watery type).
As for the regulars, well I hope today’s trials and tribulations haven’t left you to high or low.
Sausage and chips soon to be devoured, sneaky feeling I may pop out of range for a while. Been good all day between 4 and 8.
Liking people’s new avatars, guess we’ll all have to have a re think now.
Good arvo,
The Pollock is out of the freezer ready for roasted pollock with fennel and balsamic tomatoes with a side of sweet potato wedges.
But first I think the gym is calling. I am tempted to ignore it but I missed spin yesterday and climbing was not a strenuous as usual. When the full contingent attend, there are two guys and two women. The guys were unavailable last night so it was just the women and we paid a little more attention than normal on the important climbing technique best described as "catching up over a cuppa".
@Cumberland I can't believe Wispa is off to school already. It seems only yesterday when you bought her home. I guess it's just another example of kids growing up so fast. I hope you don't let her get led astray by any of the larger dogs.
@Cumberland Puppy training! How hard is it to be firm with such a cutee?
Am getting excited, off on hollybobs to Keswick on Friday. Although retired, our lives have been so ridiculously busy since Christmas am in need of some down time. Just husband and me with no alarm clocks (yes even retired people have to set alarms) pub lunches, walks in hiking boots. Lots of Kindle reading and copious amounts of wine. The weather forecast has just shown cold weather for next week but I don’t care. I have thermals!
it went great cumbs xx
Good evening fine folks. Turns out my unpredictable BG may not have been the lipohypertrophy after all, as I was up half the night trying not to be sick. An irritating gastric problem which I thought I'd seen the last of after going keto a year ago. Still changed infusion site back to my abs this morning anyway. So I had a sick day and sat in the garden listening to a podcast all about cholesterol and trying to understand what the Dickens my body is trying to do to me. Today's BGs have been a bit on the high side, I did get it down to 6 at one point, I was hoping it would stay there, but body had other ideas...
@Cumberland puppy training is awesome, and well worth putting in the time. Me and my pooch meet too many ill-tempered dogs on our walks. Did I mention my daugher's favourite is a Daschund?
@helensaramay catching up over a cuppa is more important than any knots or carabiners.
@Mel dCP i hope you got through your day relatively unscathed in the end. You deserve a medal, or at least some vino and choc. (BTW, my 13yo is nothing like that, and would join you in condemning the behaviour of her peers you describe.)
No, our youngest is only 9, so her own dog is a way off yet, although she does have a tortoise already... Her love of Daschunds stems from Schnitzel Von Krumm in the 'Hairy Maclary' books.Colin
What kind of doggy have you got?
I’ve never had a dog before (except for puppy Banger) who passed away between Christmas and New Year at 12 weeks old and was a mini dachshund) and since I retired I thought I’d get one to keep me active
Decision was between another mini dachshund or a Jack Russell (I like both) the mini (Wispa) I couldn’t resist once I saw her
Does your daughter have a dachshund?
Home today (except shopping and dog walking) and looking forward to it. Himself had a very upset tummy yesterday and feels delicate today so I'm glad to be home so that maybe he'll chill out for the day and let me do whatever needs to be done.
@Cumberland - how did Wispa get on at school?
@Mel dCP - hope all goes well with you being the physics teacher. Is it that same school with those same kids?
All the rest of us - have a good day, stay level, and stay safe
Edited, as always, for spelling
Well my BG is still on the high side this morning: xdrip woke me at 5am, fingerstick said 9.6, took 2u and rolled back over. Now struggling to bring it under 7. So I think I need another sick day...
I wish I was on holiday enjoying hill walks!
@Cumberland how did Wispa get on?
