People whose attitude says "Me, my opinion, my desire is greater and more important than anyone else"

And to whom the principle of ahimsa is a closed book that they refuse to open because it would make life more difficult for them.
Morning everyone and wishing you all a Happy Friday. I am promoting Flora plant based spread today, so hoping the weather doesn't turn out like it did yesterday ( cloudy, cold but dry at this moment) or it's going to be a veryy longggggggggg dayyyyyyyy.
I awoke on a 6.9, take care :)


If that's Flora Buttery Vegan - it's yummy, says the resident vegan :)

Follow up appointment with the orthopaedic team this morning and Hamish was praised - and I can drive again. Whoopee. I also saw his X-ray pic for the first time.
However, the X-ray of both knees was flashed up and the comment made that my left knee’s also bad. Luckily it’s behaved very well so far while the right knee recovers, but it’ll be reviewed in six month’s time.
Now what should I call a second welcome bionic immigrant?

Hi @porl69 take it easy mate, at least you will be in good hands. My missus had pneumonia whilst we were on holiday in Turkey one year.

Lots of anti biotics and lots of rest and you will be back to normal soon

I think I’d need to get a few more bits replaced before that happens - right now I feel like the dime store dame

If the first one is Hamish, the second has to be Dougal. You'll have had your tea?

Seeing what I need to become the million dollar woman do you think if I called it Morag they’d start breeding?

@porl69 you really know how to get the sympathy. I hope you make the most of it and take notes from the hospital and ward receptionist.
@Fairygodmother I'm glad you and Hamish are getting along well and considering adopting another.

I just popped in to say that I am considering rating my exercise based on diabetes treatment.
Today's spin class was a zero basal 6 glucotab ride.
Lol. And I thank you all

Morning All
@porl69 I feel (slightly) guilty for teasing you about your photo now you have reminded me you are ill. I hope you realise the banter is a sign of endearment.
I also hope you manage to make it back up that slope to and from the docs :)

@smc4761 so today's BG are not as good as yesterday? Perfection can get boring. I see "enjoy the wins when you get them!"

@Robinredbreast I am not sure what will be made of "plant-based Flora" in some corners of the forum. Fat good. Plant-based (which, I guess could include seed-based) seems to be bad. Hope you have a fun day without too many overly knowledgeable customers.

Normality has resumed for me. A good work out at the gym yesterday and spin planned for lunchtime today, And BG behaving itself. The only thing I need to work on is getting my diet back to normality after my carb-fest. On a plus side, I bought cake yesterday but then didn't fancy it so I have post spin cake for today!

Thanks Helen, it was a quiet Friday and all in all, customer's were most receptive, respectful and and well mannered too, especially the children, so sweet( probably an Insect day, as I used to call it ) :)

Flipping heck, I feel like I've crammed a month's worth into this past week and we've still got another week to go, then I've got a week where I might as well make up my bed on the organ stool.

I am doing my very, very best not to say "I told you this wouldn't work with that combination of people..." as I'm being seconded to mop up the mess as of Monday and to try to minimise the damage of the consequences of not listening to me six months ago (when I was in trouble for saying "This won't work" then).

In the meantime, I'm going to have a lazy weekend, apart from Sunday Morning, finish the last of the carrot cake, and forget the rest of the world exists.
